Working with Animations

Generating an Animation Table

Under default settings, an animation causes a speciﬁ ed point to move along a speciﬁ ed

line segment, circle, or arc in 20 steps. You can conﬁ gure the calculator to generate a table,

called an “animation table”, which records the coordinates of each step, the length of the line

segment, the area of the object, etc.

Any of the following data can be added to the animation table: coordinates ( x , y ), distance/

length, slope, radius, circumference, perimeter, area, angle, supplementary angle, vector

segments ( x , y ), and expression.

u To add columns to the animation table

Example: Draw the triangle CDE with a base parallel to and a vertex (point D) located on

horizontal line AB. Next, generate an animation table that includes the length of

line segment CD and the area of the triangle as point D moves along line segment

AB.

1. Draw line segment AB and triangle CDE.

2. Select line segment AB and point D, and then perform the following operation:

6(Animate) – 1:Add Animation.

• This will add an animation effect that causes point D to move along line segment AB.

3. Here we will generate an animation table for the length of line segment CD, so ﬁ rst select

line segment CD.

4. Press J to display the measurement box.

• If the = icon does not appear on the left edge of the screen, highlight the up arrow to

the left of the measurement box and then press w. On the icon palette that appears,

select the = icon.
