SUMMARY

Geometer's Sketchpad (GSP) allows users to superimpose a grid over an image, such as a map, making it straightforward to use images as backgrounds for function graphs. Users have reported success with this feature in GSP version 4.07, while encountering issues with version 4.06 at school. The ability to cut and paste images has been confirmed to work in GSP 4.07, suggesting that this feature may have been introduced in version 4.03.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with Geometer's Sketchpad (GSP) software
  • Understanding of image manipulation within GSP
  • Knowledge of function graphing concepts
  • Basic troubleshooting skills for software issues
NEXT STEPS

Is it possible to use an image as a background to a function graph in Geometer's Sketchpad, so that I could superimpose a grid over a map? Does anybody have an alternative suggestion if that's not possible in GSP?

Thanks,

Yes, it is pretty straightforward - see my post at mathfest.blogspot.com/2008/01/strauss-sketchpad-photos-quadratics-and.html

Thanks for the link, great demo.

For some reason cutting and pasting wasn't working for me on the machines at school - do you know if that is a recently added feature? Because the machines at school run GSP 4.06 and I have 4.07 at home (which did the job fine.)

Hmm. I'll have to try harder on it at school now that I know I SHOULD be able to get it to work.

I would guess that it was in 4.03, at least.
