Wow. Just… wow. It seems that asking a question without a screenshot is a mortal sin. I asked what “BP” stood for — thinking, (forgive me!!! mea culpa and I mean that, to a degree)… that BP was a common heading to the spreadsheet thing about each element in your app. I […]

Geogebra. “Lists” are a lot like arrays, tho’ the first element is list(1) not zero; zero will get “undefined. No, I still have no idea how to actually SET THE STUPID X AXIS TO THE SIZE I WANT. I mean, I know how to set it but it changes if I so much as move […]
