Inserting Cartesian graphs

You can insert a Cartesian graph into a page. You can include the default Cartesian graph or create a graph with customized axes and insert this instead. After you insert the graph, you can add points to it.

To insert the default Cartesian graph

1. Display the SMART Notebook Math Tools buttons (see Displaying the SMART Notebook Math Tools buttons).

2. Press Graphs, and then press Cartesian.

   A Cartesian graph appears.

To insert a customized Cartesian graph

1. Display the SMART Notebook Math Tools buttons (see Displaying the SMART Notebook Math Tools buttons).

2. Press Graphs, and then press Wizard.

   The Insert Graph dialog box appears.

3. Select Cartesian, and then press Next.

4. Customize the graph by doing the following:

   • To change the increments of the numbers along either of the graph’s axes, type a value in the Step box.

   • To change the start and end points of the X (horizontal) axis and Y (vertical) axis, type values in the Start and End boxes.

   • To display a graph without horizontal lines, clear the Horizontal Lines check box.

   • To display a graph without vertical lines, clear the Vertical Lines check box.

   • To display a graph without numbers on the axes, clear the Show Numbers check box.

5. Press Finish.

To insert points in the graph

1. Double-click the position in the graph where you want to place a point.

2. Repeat step 1 until you’ve placed all the points you want to add to the graph.

   Note 

   You can generate a table of values based on your graph (see Generating tables from graphs).

To remove points from the graph 

1. Double-click the point you want to remove.

2. Repeat step 1 until you’ve removed all the points you want to remove from the graph.
