Is there a way to have students change the window settings for a graph? I thinking, I give them an equation, then they have to adjust the window themselves to see the max/min. There should be a way, but my brain isn’t working right now.

First, you could just use a full-screen graph, so they have access to the graph controls.

Or, you can use variables in the CL for the bounds:

```auto
bounds: makeBounds(xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax)

```

How you define those bounds can be done a variety of ways. In graph, make a “slider” that changes the scale (you’d probably need some trickery to keep the scale the slider itself as well). You could have a table where they just change values of the bounds, or an input to change the scale.
