The

has four shading patterns, used on a rotating
basis. If you set one function as shaded, it uses the first pattern. The
next shaded function uses the second pattern, etc. The fifth shaded
function reuses the first pattern.
When shaded areas intersect,
their patterns overlap.
You can also set a function’s style from the Home screen or a
program. Refer to the
Style
command in Appendix A.
Setting the Display Style for a Function
For each defined function, you can set a style that specifies
how that function will be graphed. This is useful when graphing
multiple functions. For example, set one as a solid line,
another as a dotted line, etc.
