Using Pictures and Backgrounds

•

Image Vars (Image1 - Image9, and Image0) are variables stored in archive memory. An Image Var is used as a Background Image in the graph area. Several images are pre-loaded on the TI-82 Advanced Edition Python. You can also convert .gif, .jpg, .png, .tif, and .bmp images to TI-82 Advanced Edition Python Image Vars in TI Connect™ CE software and load them to the calculator. You cannot create images on the calculator.

Note: TI Connect™ CE software is available as a free download from education.ti.com/go/download.

•

Pic Vars (Pic1 - Pic 9, and Pic0) are also variables stored in archive memory. Pic Vars can be created by drawing in the graphing area, and the changes saved and recalled to the graphing area. Saving a Pic Var will not include the Background Image behind your graphing area.

•

Both Image Vars and Pic Vars are stored and run in Flash archive, not in RAM. They are both accessible in the VARS menu.

•

Image Vars and Pic Vars can only be shared with another TI-82 Advanced Edition Python graphing calculator.

•

TI-82 Advanced Edition Python Pic Vars cannot be shared with the TI-82 Advanced.

•

If you perform a RAM reset on the TI-82 Advanced Edition Python, the Image Vars and Pic Vars remain in Archive memory for use.
