I have a table component and a graph. I want one cell in the table to be a variable (s) which takes its value from a variable in the graph component. In the next table cell I want to type an equation (eg y = 3x + s) so the value of s in the graph component can be used in the equation typed into the table.
Help please!

You can make s a variable in your function by adding a little to your script:
make s equal to your scale factor variable and it should all connect
Thanks for replying so quickly Jay! To be clear, I need to add the “x”, “s” bit in my Graph script and change y=h((x) to y=h(x,s) in my Graph?
I’ve set s equal to the scale factor in the Table script:
s = CaveGraph2.number(“s_f”)
cellContent(1,2):“s”
It still doesn’t seem to work - when I add an s into one of the equations in the table (eg from y=2x+13 to y=2x+13/s) the graph disappears… Ami I still missing something, or have I put code in the script of a wrong component?
Here’s a working copy:
There are a few things to consider when entering the functions:
If you want to use your format you’ll need a second variable in there…
…or you could just use y=
… or just the expression.
It’s always something simple (that makes you feel a bit dumb!). All fixed - thanks so much for your help!
