Geometer's Sketchpad: How do I put a grid over an image?

AI Thread Summary
Using an image as a background for a function graph in Geometer's Sketchpad (GSP) is possible, allowing users to superimpose grids over maps. A specific blog post demonstrates this functionality effectively. Users have noted issues with cutting and pasting on older versions of GSP, particularly version 4.06, while version 4.07 works without problems. The feature for using images as backgrounds likely existed in earlier versions, possibly starting from 4.03.

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.
 

Thread 'Windows 10 Now Not Supported'

Well, the date has now passed, and Windows 10 is no longer supported. Hopefully, the readers of this forum have done one of the many ways this issue can be handled. If not, do a YouTube search and a smorgasbord of solutions will be returned. What I want to mention is that I chose to use a debloated Windows from a debloater. There are many available options, e.g., Chris Titus Utilities (I used a product called Velotic, which also features AI to prevent your computer from overheating etc...

Thread 'Need advice on a computer monitor that goes dark'

I've been having problems for the past few weeks with the display on my Dell computer. I bought the computer new back in 2019 or so, which makes it about 6 years old. My monitor is a 27" HP monitor that I bought for another computer (an HP Pavilion), recently demised, back in about 2012 or 2013. As far as I can tell, the computer, which is running a 10-core Xeon Scalable processor, is functioning as it should. The first symptom was that the screen would go dark, which I would attempt to...
