The integral function calculates the area under a segment of the graph. The selected area is filled on the graph and a helper object displays the numeric result. The integral is calculated using the trapezoid rule.
Click and drag the mouse across the segment that you want to integrate. The shaded area marks the beginning and end of the range. The direction you move the mouse is not significant. If you don't select a range, the curve will be fitted to the entire range of data displayed in the graph
Choose the integral function either by clicking the Integral button
on the toolbar or by selecting the Integral
option from the Analyze Menu. You can click
and drag the brackets and the integral will update automatically. To remove
the integral from the graph, click the close box in the upper corner of
the integral helper object. To edit the integral's properties, double-click
the helper object. The Integral Options
dialog box will appear.
