Generally, math teachers look for the simplest ways to teach their pupils, while also making sure that they're interactive enough to keep them interested. Autograph is an advanced application that enables teachers and students to easily render 2D and 3D graphs.
Although it took longer than I expected to download and install the program, I must say it was worth the wait. The application might seem a bit overwhelming at first sight due to numerous buttons, but you can reduce their number by going to the View menu and displaying only the ones you need.
A good reason for trying this efficient tool is that it offers you the simplest way to create 2D and 3D graphs as your only task will be to simply enter the proper equations and values. Once you've finished building the graph, you can preview the plotting and save or print the project.
One aspect I wasn't too happy about when I saved the resulted graphs was that I could only save the projects as AGG files. Plus, the acquiring price for Autograph seems a bit too high. With that being said, it's up to you to decide whether it's worth buying this application.
v3.30.10 [Jan 26, 2010]
-Many of the routines have been fine-tuned and operation is smoother. Image handling has been improved: you can paste or drag image files into Autograph, and you can drag images straight off Firefox web pages.
-There is a superb new "Save to Web" facility. Autograph activities can be quickly created and saved to HTML (eg for use in a VLE or Wiki). Anyone opening such an activity for the first time in Internet Explorer, Firefox or Safari will automatically download the Autograph Player (which is installed anyway for all Autograph users).
-All six 'Extras' have been completely re-written in stunning "Flash".
-The multi-lingual interface has been extended to 18 languages, including the world's first true right-to-left Arabic notation.
-The use of Autograph on Thin Client systems has been enabled.
-Autograph is now activated online, enabling the smooth continuation of use for trial users, and greatly simplifying the process of delivering the software to students on the popular Extended License.
-It is understood that many will want to take the opportunity to upgrade their license to the popular Extended License to take advantage of the online activation.
