Hello.

Example 1 and Example 2  taught me about shifting points on the curve around.  I have noticed  a problem that I am running into; that is I use the mouse to move points on the curve and when looking for an exact number, like 184, I can find 183 and 185 but I always seem to miss 184 Any suggestions?

As you should be able to see, Example 2 seems have some grayish pixels around the 2 area but most of the background still remains black.  Why is this and how do I correct it?

I decided to post screen shots of both Example 1 and Example 2.  Please give me your advice?


Also, upon completion of a topic, I would like to print the topic to pdf to save for my review, however, the print topic option does not include the images - Any suggestions?

Thank you
David

1) Exact Points on the curve are more easily found by using the arrow keys on the keyboard. Once you have selected a curve point you can use the arrow keys to move the point in any direction.

2) The gray-ish points are showing up because you curved the center area of the grid rather than moving the end point.  You can make them go away just as fast by taking the curve out and moving just the end point.  You have to push them pretty hard to get them to show up that much...

3) hmmm... good question about the print topic...try just using the browser to print the page that should do it...I see images in the print preview.

Overall it does look like you are starting to get the hang of this...
