Accessing Library Objects

To use a library object in any TI‑Nspire™ document, type the object's long name. The long name consists of the name of the object library document followed by a backslash "\" followed by the name of the object. For example, if the library document name is "lib1" and the object name is "func1," type lib1\func1.

Using a Public Library Object

 

1. Open the TI‑Nspire™ application where you want to use the variable, function, or program.

Note: All applications can evaluate functions, but only the Calculator and Notes applications can run programs.

2. Tap Utilities and go to Libraries.
3. Tap the name of the object you want to use.

Note: If you do not see the object, refresh the libraries.

4. If arguments are required, type them inside the parentheses.
5. Tap return to insert the object into the document.
Using a Private Library Object

 

1. Open the TI‑Nspire™ application where you want to use the variable, function, or program.

Note: All applications can evaluate functions, but only the Calculator and Notes applications can run programs.

2. Type the name of the object, such as lib1\func1 ().

In the case of a function or program, always follow the name with parentheses.

3. If arguments are required, type them inside the parentheses.
4. Tap return to insert the object into the document.
Viewing Arguments

 

If you cannot remember the exact name or the order of arguments required for a private library object, you can:

Open the library document that contains the object to view the arguments and other information.

—OR—

Type getVarInfo [library name string] in any open document to view a list defined variables in an object.

—OR—

Access the arguments and help through the Utilities menu.
