To activate the animation feature on the graphing calculator for polar graphs of functions and Cartesian or polar graphs of parametric equations:

• Press the ► button located at the bottom of the grapher calculator (if it's hidden, press Animate first).
• When animating in the polar coordinate system, you have the option to show or hide the rotating radial axes by checking or unchecking the Show radial axes checkbox.
• Press the toggle ‖ button to pause or resume the animation.
• Press Done to stop it. This also closes the animation interface. To display the animation interface again, press Animate.
