Grapher: How to revise definitions

[ritachengl]

Hi there,

I have no problems in writing definitions and equations in grapher. But when I tried to revise definitions, error message shows saying "Cannot remove definition. The definition is used by another element." But I did not remove, just replace a constant number with a new parameter. For example,

The original one:
y=x+b
b:=1

Now I want it to be:
y=x+b
b:=a
a:=2

But when I try to revise the definition of b, grapher does not allow me showing the above error message.

Anyone has the same problem and can help me with that?

Thanks a lot!!

Rita

Grapher :

Bonjour Rita,
First way. A question of sequence :
b = 1
y = x + b then
a = 2 then
modify equation b = 1 above by changing 1 into a

Second way. Render inoperative all equations using the parameter to be modified, by adding the sign = in front of them :
b = 1
y = x + b > =y = x + b
change b = 1 into b = a
a = 2
cancel = to restore y = x + b
It's very easy, done quickly, can be used for a lot of equations.
