cmd_table Function (ROM Call 0x393)

AMS 1.01 or higher bascmd.h

void cmd_table (ESI ExprEtc);

Executes TI-Basic 'Table' command.

cmd_table builds a table for the specified expression/function and displays it on the screen by activating the Table application. This function expects the following layout on the expression stack before calling, depending on the current graph mode (ExprEtc should point to the last item):

Graph modeRequested layout on the expression stack
Function graphingEND_TAG var_name expression
Parametric graphingEND_TAG var_name y_expression x_expression
Polar graphingEND_TAG var_name expression

Sequences, 3D functions and differential equations can not be tabulated using this function. Variable names are optional, i.e. they may be omitted. In such cases, default variable names for current graph mode are used ("x" for function graphing, "t" for parametric graphing, and "q" for polar graphing). For example, to graph the function sin(t)+sin(2t) with respect to t (assuming that the current graph mode is "Function" or "Polar"), you should do:

push_quantum (VAR_T_TAG);
push_parse_text ("sin(t)+sin(2t)");
cmd_table (top_estack);
Or, you can avoid push_parse_text by transforming the expression into RPN manually (which is very easy):
static ESQ rpn[] = {END_TAG, VAR_T_TAG, VAR_T_TAG, SIN_TAG,
  VAR_T_TAG, 2, 1, POSINT_TAG, MUL_TAG, SIN_TAG, ADD_TAG};
cmd_table (rpn + sizeof(rpn) - 1);
All expressions entered using cmd_table and cmd_graph are remembered and assigned increasing function numbers starting with 1. The currently selected 'Y=' functions are ignored. Use cmd_clrgraph to clear these functions (they will also be cleared after you go to the Y= Editor application to re-enable the system 'Y=' functions). See the TI-Basic manual for more info.

You can use cmd_blddata as an alternative to this function.
