Graph framing + values

Frame a graph and verify its values with Table.

A correct expression can still look wrong when the graph window is poorly framed. Use Window, Fit, Zoom, Reset, and Table to separate display problems from mathematical ones.

Callie Pro iPad graph workspace with framed curves, graph controls, and live values
A well-framed graph makes Trace and Table values easier to interpret together.
Quick answer

What should you do when a Callie Pro graph looks blank or too small?

Fit adjusts the visible bounds around supported plotted content, while Window gives direct control over graph limits and Zoom changes the current scale. Reset returns the view to its standard state.

Table lists sampled values for visible expressions, which helps confirm whether the expression is producing sensible output even when the graph framing needs work.

Workflow

Diagnose the view before changing the math.

  1. 1

    Confirm the expression is active

    Make sure the intended expression is valid, visible, and selected before changing the graph window.

  2. 2

    Try Fit

    Use Fit when the curve exists but appears too small, too large, or outside the current view.

  3. 3

    Set or adjust the Window

    Enter useful horizontal and vertical bounds when the problem requires a deliberate domain or range.

  4. 4

    Verify in Table

    Open Table to compare sampled x-values and function values without depending on the visual scale alone.

Examples

Try a concrete case.

A parabola outside the current view

Use Fit, then inspect Table values around the vertex before choosing a tighter Window.

Y1 = (x - 20)^2

A trigonometric comparison

Use a suitable trigonometric window, then compare sine and cosine values at the same sample positions.
