Alex+and+graphs

Alex helps me play with worlframalpha. The procedure that Alex told me about which he got from Wyatt is now in the non experimental wiki as a page called Wolfram alpha. I have edited that page to make some of the steps more explicit than they used to be. We used that procedure to upload the picture that is below.

I can make the cursor be in front of the picture and as I type the picture moves across the screen. When appropriate the graph jumped down to the next line and I could just keep typing.I can even start typing at the end of the line next to the picture and the picture stays put and the text goes to the line below.

Now I'm playing around a little to see how I can play with the picture. Not that I really know the vocabulary for such things, but the picture seems to be pretty stable. I can move my cursor above or below the picture and as I type the picture remains between the two lines of text.

It seems to me that this version of a picture is pretty stable and useful for editing. When I click on the picture, I can change its size by clicking on the appropriate buttons.

So now I'm just going to stick another image in and see what I seeYep I'm cool with this so now I need to figure out what my students are doing that is giving them fits.
