Folks,
I'm trying to think what the Function Graphics take home
message should be from our programming exercise this week.
Here are some possibilities:
1. It is possible to get something very close to what
you want using function graphics, but it may take
you hours or days to accomplish it. Try not to be
overly anal.
2. The documentation is not only terrible, but is
consciously designed to lead you astray.
3. Unlike normal graphics where there are multiple
paths to the final goal, in function graphics there
is one path to the final goal and you will need a
guide to find it.
4. If you tread the wrong path you will receive no
warnings that your final result is also wrong.
5. It is best not to dwell on how much money you
spend on things you cannot use.
Anything else?
Cheers,
David
