CENTR
Type: Command
Description: Center Command: Adjusts the first two parameters in the reserved variable PPAR, (x
min
, y
min
) and
(x
max
, y
max
), so that the point represented by the argument (x, y) is the plot center. On the HP 50g
and 49g+, the center pixel is in row 40, column 65 when PICT is its default size (131 × 80). On
the 48gII, the center pixel is in row 32, column 65 when PICT is its default size (131 × 64).
If the argument is a real number x, CENTR makes the point (x,0) the plot center.

Type: Command
Description: Clear Flag Command: Clears the specified user or system flag.
User flags are numbered 1 through 128. System flags are numbered –1 through –128. See
Appendix C for a listing of the calculator’s system flags and their flag numbers.
Access: !° TEST LL CF ( °is the left-shift of the Nkey).

%CH
Type: Function
Description: Percent Change Function: Returns the percent change from x to y as a percentage of x.
If both arguments are unit objects, the units must be consistent with each other. The dimensions
of a unit object are dropped from the result, but units are part of the calculation.
