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 'Urgent: Physically repair - or bypass - power button on Asus laptop'
Asus Vivobook S14 flip. The power button is wrecked. Unable to turn it on AT ALL. We can get into how and why it got wrecked later, but suffice to say a kitchen knife was involved: These buttons do want to NOT come off, not like other lappies, where they can snap in and out. And they sure don't go back on. So, in the absence of a longer-term solution that might involve a replacement, is there any way I can activate the power button, like with a paperclip or wire or something? It looks...
