Drawing a Line, Circle, or Text Label on a Graph
You can draw one or more objects on the Graph screen,
usually for comparisons. For example, draw a horizontal line to
show that two parts of a graph have the same y value. (Some
objects are not available for 3D graphs.)

Drawing a Point or a
Freehand Line
Tip: When drawing a
freehand line, you can move
the cursor diagonally.
Note: If you start drawing
on a white pixel, the pencil
draws a black point or line.
If you start on a black pixel,
the pencil draws a white
point or line (which can act
as an eraser).
