Getting Started with the TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition 29
Pictures and Backgrounds
The TI-84 Plus C uses both pictures and background images. They are
both stored in Flash archive, but they are used in different ways:
• Image Vars (Image1 - Image9, and Image0) are variables stored in
archive memory.
An Image Var is used as a Background Image in the
graph area. Several images are pre-loaded on the TI-84 Plus C. You
can also convert images to TI-84 Plus C Image Vars in the
TI Connect™ software and load them to the calculator. You cannot
create images on the calculator.
Note: TI Connect™ software is available as a free download from
education.ti.com/go/download.
• Pic Vars (Pic1 - Pic 9, and Pic0) are also variables stored in archive
memory. Pic Vars can be creating by drawing in the graphing area,
and the changes saved and recalled to the graphing area. Saving a
Pic Var will not include the Background Image behind your graphing
area.
• Both Image Vars and Pic Vars are stored and run in Flash archive, not
in RAM. They are both accessible in the VARS menu.
• Image Vars and Pic Vars can only be shared with another TI-84 Plus C
graphing calculator.
• TI-84 Plus Pic Vars cannot be shared between the TI-84 Plus and the
TI-84 Plus C graphing calculators.
• If you perform a RAM reset on the TI-84 Plus C, the Image Vars and
Pic Vars remain in Archive memory for use.
• TI-84 Plus pictures are stored in RAM or archive, while TI-84 Plus C
pictures are stored only in archive.
