Button Functions in Applets

In the two-dimensional graphing applets, there are four buttons underneath the displayed graph:

Zoom In causes the graph to enlarge by a factor of 2.0, with the center of the new graph region given by the coordinates of the next mouse click on the graph (so two clicks are needed, first on the button, then on the graph).
Zoom Out causes the graph to reduce by a factor of 2.0, with the center of the new graph region given by the coordinates of the next mouse click on the graph (so two clicks are needed, first on the button, then on the graph).
Mouse causes the display to show the coordinates of the mouse position, in coordinate units -- clicking this button again turns the display off.
Bounds causes a pop-up window to appear, showing six text input fields and four buttons. The six text input fields are:
- x_min: the left (lower) endpoint of the x-axis
- x_max: the right (upper) endpoint of the x-axis
- del_x: the distance (in x-coordinate units) between hash marks on the x-axis
- y_min: the lower endpoint of the y-axis
- y_max: the upper endpoint of the y-axis
- del_y: the distance (in y-coordinate units) between hash marks on the y-axis
Each of these text input fields will accept any decimal number.
The buttons perform the following tasks:
- Square causes the axis settings for the graph to be changed so that the marked units (determined by delx and dely) are the same length on both axes, by increasing the number of units on one axis, as necessary, redrawing the graph and setting the text input fields to match (but not closing the pop-up window).
- Std causes the standard settings for the graph (x_min=-10.0, x_max=10.0, del_x=1.0, y_min=-10.0, y_max=10.0, del_y=1.0) to take effect, redrawing the graph and setting the text input fields to match (but not closing the pop-up window).
- OK causes the current settings of the values in the text fields to take effect, redrawing the graph and closing the pop-up window.
- Cancel closes the pop-up window with no further effect on the graph.

In the three-dimensional graphing applets, there are two buttons underneath the displayed graph:

Bounds -- as above, but three additional text input fields are available:
- z_min: the lower endpoint of the z-axis
- z_max: the upper endpoint of the z-axis
- del_z: the distance (in z-coordinate units) between hash marks on the z-axis
The buttons available in this pop-up window are a bit different, too:
- Square is not available.
- Apply causes the current settings of the values in the text fields to take effect (but not closing the pop-up window).
View/Grid causes a pop-up window to appear, showing four text input fields and five buttons. The four text input fields are:
- a: (View Angle) specifies first viewing angle, measured counterclockwise in xy-plane, in degrees.
- b: (View Angle) specifies second viewing angle, measured down from z-axis, in degrees.
- x_grid: graph grid spacing in x direction
- y_grid: graph grid spacing in y direction
Each of these text input fields will accept any decimal number.
The buttons perform the following tasks:
- Enter View Point causes another pop-up window to appear, showing three text input fields and two buttons. The three text input fields are:
  - x: x coordinate of view point
  - y: y coordinate of view point
  - z: z coordinate of view point
  The two buttons are:
  - Ok: Causes the current settings to take effect -- the coordinates of the view point are converted into view angles which are entered into the fields in the View/Grid pop-up window, but the graph is not changed until those values are applied.
  - Cancel: closes the pop-up window with no effect on the graph or the fields in the View/Grid pop-up window.
Std causes the standard settings for the graph (a=45, b=45, x_grid=1.0, y_grid=1.0) to take effect, redrawing the graph and setting the text input fields to match (but not closing the pop-up window).
Apply causes the current settings of the values in the text fields to take effect (but not closing the pop-up window).
OK causes the current settings of the values in the text fields to take effect, redrawing the graph and closing the pop-up window.
Cancel closes the pop-up window with no further effect on the graph.

There are a few applet-specific differences:

In Parametric Paths, the three-dimensional graphing grid value fields are not available.
In cylindrical coordinates, the grid values in the View/Grid pop-up window are specified as r_grid and t_grid
In spherical coordinates, the grid values in the View/Grid pop-up window are specified as t_grid and s_grid
In parametric surfaces, the grid values in the View/Grid pop-up window are specified as s_grid and t_grid
In sequences and series, only five text input fields are available in the Bounds pop-up window: n_min (minimum value of n -- maximum value is n_min+150), del_n (distance between hash marks on the horizontal axis), y_min, y_max, and del_y.
