Frame saving options (4.4 beta version)

I installed the beta version of Graph 4.4 on a spare computer (Windows 98 SE)

I noticed that in order to get at the option of saving frames, one has to go
through the entire process of generating the avi. I think it would be convenient
if the option to save consecutive frames is available as an alternative to
generating the avi-file. 

One can opt to use the avi for pre-viewing on a small scale (smaller for faster
rendering), and after that proceed to save the frames at the intended scale.
Personally, I manufacture the frames 2 to 4 times larger than the intended width
and height of the animation. The downsizing to fit the animation then results in
anti-aliasing. (I present frames without anti-aliasing to the animation building
software in order to not interfere with the optimisation of the animated GIF.)

I will consider it. It was just easiest to place it in the animation 
player. There are probably not many using it anyway.

Well, I don't think many are interested in previewing. Most people just 
want to see the animation, and a few may want to save it. You seem to be 
  a special case when you want to save each frame. But of course I could 
be wrong. I has happened before.

No, I guess few people beside me will use it. Graph is among the software I use
to generate animations because I'm not aware of other software with the same
capabilities as Graph. 

I want to display animations on my website, and I want the visitor to have no
technical obstacles to viewing my website, so I've had to find ways of building
animated GIF's. It's hard to find software with the ability to control shape and
motion with mathematical precision.

Help

If I want to input an inverse matrix, how do I do that?

I don't understand what you want to do with a matrix. Maybe you can 
clarify? Graph is intended for plotting graphs and cannot do much with a 
matrix.

Invert x-axis

Is it possible to invert the x-axis in graph ? (going from high values to low
values)

Did some poking around and didn't find anything

No, Graph doesn't support inverting the axes. Why do you need that? What 
you can do is to replace x with -x, disable the numbers on the axes, and 
use labels to add your own numbers to the axes.

Graph 4.3;change the thickness of the axes?

I installed the  Graph 4.3 recently and I have a query regarding it.
Is it possible to change the thickness of the axes?  I saw this
question in the archive with a response as to why it is needed.  For
someone who uses MS Word, this feature is essential as the axes become
very thin when the graph is inserted in Word document and its size is
scaled down; the coordinates and graph can be made thicker and made
visible but the axes become very thin.

No, it is not currently possible, but I have gotten the question several 
times now, so I am starting to consider it.

I see your point. I will take a look at it and try to implement it in 
one of the next versions. A thing that might help now is to resize the 
image before you insert it into Word. When you use Edit|Copy image, 
Graph will copy the image with the same size as shown on the screen. So 
if you make the window smaller before you copy, you may not need to 
resize it inside Word.

Re: Invert x-axis

When you plot H-R diagrams for star evolution, then you (as standard) have the
temperature decrease in the "x-direction".

Resorted to another "heavier" program, but thanks for the answer.
