Welcome. I set up this Web page for users of Texas Instruments graphing calculators to download stuff:
TI-82 Programs:
Here's 82progs.zip, a collection of *.82P files (TI-82 programs that I wrote and collected; includes a description.doc that describes each program).
Calculator programming "Word" documents:
If you use IE4 then you can open the following links in the browser! If
not, you can get Inso's
Word Viewer Plug-In. Also be sure to have installed the Graph-Link
software available free from the TI site (see below). There are special
fonts in these docs for displaying the programming symbols.
- The Power in the Palm of Your Hand, my conference handout about programming the TI graphing calculators. Includes tips, general language rules, guidelines, and sample programs. (Word.doc, 13 pages),
- Sierpinski x 3, an article describing three different ways of generating the Sierpinski Gasket on the TI-82, including programs, explanations, and pictures. (Word.doc, 2 pages)
- Julia and the TI-92, an article about programming the 'chaos game' (with complex numbers) for the Julia Set. (Word.doc, 1 page)
- Feigenbaum and TI, a page containing the 'Feigenbaum diagram' (a bifurcation fractal) from the 92 and the short TI-92 program (using complex numbers) that constructs this amazing fractal (easily adapted for the other TI calculators... the 92 was the closest to my hand at the time!). (Word.doc, 1 page)
Introducing *IVIEW
- I wrote the *IVIEW (Image VIEWers) for Windows 3.1 or Windows 95
for the TI-82/3, TI-85/6,and TI-92 graphing calculators/computers. There
are three programs available: 83IVIEW.EXE, 86IVIEW.EXE and 92IVIEW.EXE.
These programs allow you to open, edit (draw), save, and print 82I, 83I,
85I, 86I, and 92I 'Image' files. These files store PICture files from your
calculator on the PC using TI's Graph-Link software and cable. And... these
programs can 'import' images from other formats: BMP, ICO, RLE, and WMF.
Versions 2.1 have new drawing tools (Bar, WhLine, WhBar, WhBox, WhCircle, Ellipse, and WhEllipse). Drawing tools beginning with 'Wh' draw in white pixels, like Pxl_Off() on the calculators.
Use Texas Instruments' Graph-Link programs to send the image files to the calculators.
WARNING: Do not try to make your own cable. The Graph-Link cable contains special circuitry. You could damage the calculator and possibly the computer using a 'home-brew' cable. Get the cable-only from Staples or the calculator distributors.
What files do you need? (See Windows 95 files below)
Windows 3.x
Choose the files you need from this list. Note: some browsers try to display these files. If that happens, return to this page and right-click the link, then choose 'Save Target as...'.- IVIEWS.ZIP Versions 2.1 with 'toolbars'(10/06/97). This ZIP file contains all three EXE files: 83IVIEW.EXE for TI-82 and TI-83 calculators, 86IVIEW.EXE for TI-85 and TI-86 calculators, and 92IVIEW.EXE for the TI-92 calculator.
- VBRUN300.DLL (a DLL for any programs developed with Visual Basic 3.0)
- CMDIALOG.VBX (to use common 'dialog boxes' for open, save, and print)
- SPIN.VBX (a little spinner tool in the programs 'page setup dialog')
- THREED.VBX ( a 3D panel in the programs)
- GAUGE.VBX (the gauge that measures printing progress)
For Windows 95 Users:
- iview95.zip (132k) (new 1/5/98) contains all three new programs: 83iview95.exe, 86iview95.exe, and 92iview95.exe. They are compiled with Visual Basic 5.0 and require the support files located here...
- msvbvm50.zip contains msvbvm50.dll
- comctl32.zip contains comctl32.ocx
- comct232.zip contains comct232.ocx
- comdlg32.zip contains comdlg32.ocx
How to 'import' pictures into the IVIEW programs.
Prepare a file for importing using any paint program. Preferably, convert the image to black and white, though this is not necessary. Only black pixels will be used. All other colors will be treated as white. The image should be the size of the calculator screen that you are using (82/3: 96x63, 85/6: 128x63, 92: 240x103) but this is not necessary, either. In the IVIEW program, select File/Import. Find the BMP, ICO, WMF, or RLE file that you want. The image appears in the upper left corner of the program window. Select YES to process the image. Importing merges the imported pixels with the existing image, as RclPic does on the calculators. Pictures that are smaller than screen size will be centered on the screen. Larger pictures will be clipped.
