of the specified order.
The coefficients are random integers in the range
ë 9 through 9. The leading coefficient will not be
zero.

RandSeed MATH/Probability menu
RandSeed
number
If
number
= 0, sets the seeds to the factory
defaults for the random-number generator. If
number
ƒ 0, it is used to generate two seeds,
which are stored in system variables
seed1
and
seed2.

RclGDB
GDBvar
Restores all the settings stored in the Graph
database variable
GDBvar.
For a listing of the settings, see
StoGDB.
Note: It is necessary to have something saved in
GDBvar before you can restore it.

RclPic CATALOG
RclPic
picVar
[,
row

Displays the Graph screen and adds the picture
stored in
picVar
at the upper left-hand corner pixel
coordinates (
row

column
) using OR logic.
picVar
must be a picture data type.
Default coordinates are (0, 0).
