Marjon Tas The GraphGrid is a frame with rubber bands that fits on the TactiPad. It includes four additional tools: hyperbole, parabola, sintang and lens. The configuration of the bands in rows, and/or columns and axes gives it its functionality for X/Y and 3D coordinate systems. For a description of the graph grid frame and on how to modify the configuration of the rubber bands, see the section: GraphGrid frame. For applications of the GraphGrid frame, see the sections: 02 …
Detailed description The GraphGrid frame is a frame (36 by 28 cm) with a thickness of four millimetres. It needs to be mounted on the TactiPad drawing board like a picture frame. Eight oval holes in the frame fit around the knobs of the TactiPad to hold it in place. Three corners are rounded. The fourth corner is flattened. Along the inner edge, small curved hooks are placed at a regular interval of 1 centimetre. …
Cells as playing field for games A playing field for games based on cells such as tic tac toe, battleship etc. can be created with the grid boxes that mature by the crossing rubber bands. The ‘game board borders’ can be marked with high rubber bands. The default distance of two centimetres for the cell size is enough, but reconfiguring the rubber bands to a cell size of three centimetres offers more space. Yahtzee Keep …
Coordinate system A crossing of two rubber bands can be considered as a coordinate in a grid system. Starting in the upper left corner of the GraphGrid to the right we call the X direction. Going down is the Y direction. Each crossing is identified by two numbers. With this method, the coordinate 1,1 is the lower right hand corner of the top left cell. The GraphGrid frame does not need axes. The cell size …
The columns of the GraphGrid frame can be considered as bars of a bar chart. The value in each bar is indicated by the number of marked cells, starting from the lower edge of the frame or from an additional rubber band. The lower edge or the rubber band is the X axis. A cell can stand for one or multiple units or for a percentage. Bar chart for birthday data This bar chart example …
The easiest way to draw a graph is to draw the x- and y-axis first using the ruler and measurement indications on the TactiPad and then place the GraphGrid on the drawing board. The axes, the higher rubber bands, can now coincide with the axes drawn on the paper. You can then easily count and draw the x and y values of the graph along the flexible grid lines. Because the grid lines are flexible, …
Congratulations on the TactiPad drawing board! We wish you an inspiring drawing experience. Of course you want to see as soon as possible the TactiPad and all its tools and parts that are stored in the carrying bag. When opening the bag you find all the parts at their own positions: TactiPad, ruler, compass, 30Triangle, 45Triangle, protractor, 10 pushpins, pen and 50 sheets of drawing foil. See the section:Carrying bag – Unpacking & storing Take …
Carrying bag The TactiPad with all its tools and parts comes in a carrying bag with a handle and a shoulder strap. The total weight of the carrying bag with content is about three kilograms. When opening the bag, all tools and parts can be found on one half of the bag. The other half of the bag is an open pocket that holds the drawing board. A Velcro strip holds the bag closed. The ruler, …
Global description The TactiPad drawing board consists of a top frame that surrounds the A4 (21.0 x 29.7 centimetres) drawing area of the bottom layer. The two parts are connected with a hinge, so the frame can open like a book. The drawing board and tools are made of plastic. The corners are rounded. The total size is 28,0 by 36,7 centimetres. The use of the colours black and yellow for the TactiPad and the …
