Chapter 15: Picture Plot Application 259
15-1 Using the Plot Function
You can plot points on the screen, overlay them with a graph of an expression in the form y = f (x), and draw a
regression graph that approximates the plots.
Starting a Picture Plot Operation
The Picture Plot application lets you use a still image (c2p file) or animation (c2b file) that contains a
mathematical meaningful object or scene as a background, and plot points on the background image. Because
of this, a Picture Plot operation always starts with opening of a background file.
Tip: c2p and c2b are special ClassPad file formats. You can use files that come preloaded on your ClassPad, or you can
obtain files from the CASIO support site (edu.casio.com).
u To open a c2p or c2b file for use as the Picture Plot window background
1. On the application menu, tap to start the Picture Plot application.
• This will display a full-screen view of the Picture Plot window.
2. Tap [File] - [Open].
• This displays the file list screen.
3. Select the c2p or c2b file you want to open and then tap [Open].
• The file will open and its content will appear as the Picture Plot window background image.
What you should do next depends on the file type.

- c2b file: “Plotting Points on a c2b File Image” (page 260)
u To adjust the lightness (Fade I/O) of an image
1. While the Picture Plot screen is displayed, tap [File] and then [Fade I/O].
• This causes a slider for adjusting image lightness to appear on the toolbar.
2. Tap t or u on the toolbar to adjust the lightness value.
3. After the setting is the way you want, tap the [OK] button on the toolbar.
Plotting Points on a c2p File Image
