To activate the animation feature on the graphing calculator for polar graphs of functions or Cartesian/polar graphs of parametric equations : Simply press the ► button located at the bottom of the graphing calculator (if it's hidden, press Animate first). Our other tools such as the polar function grapher, and the parametric grapher are also equipped with this feature for their respective graphs.

Controlling Animation

• 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.
