HP Prime: TrigPlot App (HP Prime Custom app Tutorial)

HP Prime: TrigPlot App  (HP Prime Custom app Tutorial)

Introduction

Here is another example custom app, the TrigPlot, which plots the following equation:

y = A * sin(Bx + C) + D * cos(Ex + F) + G * sin(Hx + I)^2 + J * cos(Kx + L)^2

where all angles are in radians.  The app uses the global variables A through L. 

Keys

[ Num ]:  The user enters values for A – L.  They must be real (not complex or have a (-1) component)

[ Plot ]:  Enter plot parameters and choose the color of the plot (purple, blue, green, gold, red).  The plot is against a black background.

[ View ], Erase A-L:  Sets the variables A through L to 0 (zero).

[ Info ]:  Displays information about the app

Notes



The Info section introduces the user to the app’s concept:

Info()
BEGIN
// This is when the user presses
// Shift+Apps (Info), use Print
// commands

PRINT();

PRINT("TrigPlot App");
PRINT("------------");
PRINT("By Edward Shore");
PRINT("------------");
PRINT("This app plots the equation");
PRINT("Y = A*SIN(B*X+C) + D*COS(E*X+F) +");
PRINT("G*SIN(H*X+I)^2 + J*COS(K*X+L)^2");
PRINT("------------");
PRINT("February 2018");

END;


To ensure the app always runs in Radians mode, I store the value 1 to AAngle during startup (START).  In addition, I added the Info(); to show the Info screen.

START()
BEGIN
// This happens when the app is started.

// Set the app to radians angle mode.
AAngle:=1;
// This is a specific app mode setting
// unlike HAngle

// Also run the Info screen
Info();

END;

The Plot portion of app is based on the Pixel Plot program (see http://edspi31415.blogspot.com/2018/02/hp-prime-pixel-plot-how-to-change.html ) where pixels are plotted.

Examples

Example 1:  y = 2 sin(x + 2) – 3 cos x
A = 2, B = 1, C = 2, D = -3, E = 1 (the rest are zero)



Example 2:  y = 2 cos(2x) + 1.5 * cos^2 x
D = 2, E = 2, J = 1.5, K = 1 (the rest are zero)
