I looked up parametric on wikipedia and dictionary.com but all it talked about was variation and ranges. Anyone know what it really means in regard to memory? |

If you hit [MODE], you'll probably see "Func" highlighted (function graphing). Go to "Par" instead to get to it. Now, you may or may not know that parametric functions have X and Y as functions of T (time), the domain of which is adjustable from the window menu. It's useful for graphing equations that can't be considered functions, due to the possibility of more than one y-value per x value.
