Thanks Raul, The biggest change I think I have made to the new extended animation is dividing the operation into a sequence when before it was simultaneous. I think the sequence version may be more accessible to newcomers, but to know for sure would require more extensive testing.
I honestly haven't conceived of a way to use the illustrative graph for vector or matrix arguments without creating either incredible levels of confusion or a false sense of structure to the operations. Let me know if you have a vision for accommodating the illustrative graph with higher ranked arguments. Cheers, bob ps. YOU'VE lost patience! Imagine what it's like to develop these things. I have had many nights of sliding ovals invading my slumber! ;) On -Mar27-2010, at -Mar27-20107:33 AM, Raul Miller wrote: > "plus" animations > > Conjugate: > > In all versions, the higher ranked examples lost the illustrative > graph.
