## Adding programming functions to data

In TI Data Editor, you can use the catalog palette to add functions to the data in programs, text files, string variables, lists, matrices, vectors, and numbers. The catalog palette contains a selection of the programming functions found on TI graphing calculators. Using the catalog palette to add programming functions to programs, text files, string variables, lists, matrices, vectors, and numbers can make the process faster and easier for you.

Note: If the receiving device does not support this feature in lists, matrices, vectors, or numbers, you will either receive an error message when the file is sent to the device, or the unsupported item will be deleted when viewed on the device.
