Solution 36916: TI-84 Plus CE Transformation Graphing App Animated Graph Display Appears Right-Left Graphing.

Why does the TI-84 Plus CE Transformation graphing app animated graph display use right-left graphing?

The TI-84 Plus CE Transformation graphing app animated graph display appears right-left graphing because the Transformation graphing animated graph display “Play” and “Play-Fast” display an animation of a sequence of pre-calculated screens. The animated screens are static drawings. Since the calculator displays pixels from top to bottom for each pre-calculated screen, the display may give the appearance of a graph plotting from right to left (instead of left to right as with standard graphing). The calculator drawing action is similar to the visual impression as using a flip book to view a graph animation.
