I've been writing it for the graphing calcs since 1995, BEFORE AOL made their famous instant messenger.. <!--emo&

Thanks for reminding me. *rummages for more screencaps* EDIT: By the way, did anyone notice that the background of that calculator page uses images taken from the screen captures? EDIT 2: I found another image... a calculator doodle of a Kim Anderson image I saw in an HEB (grocery store) pharmacy waiting area. Using Google, I identified it to be "<a href='http://www.kim-arts.com/posters/red_hat.htm' target='_blank'>Red Hat</a>."

The actual drawing is done pixel by pixel by pressing an arrow key, then F1, then another arrow key, F1 again.. lots of times. Why F1? Bcause I wrote a program to make it so. The TI graphing calculators have built-in drawing features (like the Pen and various drawing modes), but they leave much to be desired. The tools always have you hit the Enter key on the bottom of the calculator, which is fine for typing out problems on the keypad but terribly inconvenient for drawing, since it would force the user to either hold the calculator with the right hand above the left, which has to reach across the calculator to press the Enter key, or move the right hand around to reach for the key, which is slow and also awkward. Alternating keypresses between thumbs is very quick, so it is not too difficult to get an image up. I don't even mess with the line tools; it would take longer to use a hotkey for drawing short lines anyway, and you can't make them dotted lines that way (which is useful for drawing hair and fine details that would not look right with solid lines). Dark areas are slightly harder since those are a lot of pixels to change. Shaded rectangles to the rescue! Fill 'em and change the dark pixels you didn't want dark back light.. The process is all a LOT simpler than it looks. As for the dithering skills, that takes practice. That's kind of why I just draw stuff from photos. I might be able to do a real-life portrait, but opportunities like that don't show up very often. Now if you were talking about the BACKGROUND... I took lots of screencaps, and masked them using Windows Paint. Yes, Paint. I make a new image, and open another instance of Paint as a working area with backgrounds and other stuff. I used a variety of skills I developed in Paint to make that collage, including gradients (all over the thing), masking (to apply gradients to regions of black or white pixels, like that very colorful Aim screencap), color filling and replacement (to create a transparency illusion where some of the images overlapped), and lots of other stuff that I failed to mention right now. If you want to know how to do any of those skills, you're welcome to ask sometime.

And to think I've only used calculators to do math problems. <img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... s/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /> (Of course, I've never had a graphing calc.) Cool calculator images, Tavis. <img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' />

Coolness, both of you. SS: given the gold tint and the fact you were in class, can it be assumed you improvised a highlighter for a marker, or did you have a legit coloring tool with you?

No, I borrowed some markers from a girl I was sitting next to. She kept on saying, don't get any black on the tip! Don't get any black on the tip! and then I died
