Favorite Demonstration
My favorite demonstration was the Line plotting found in the graphics section. The reason I like this one is because it provides a graph and allows the user to change certain things about the graph, such as the line type, width, marker size and even the color of the line. With each change the user makes, the code changes. This shows the viewer what effect certain codes have on the graph and allows them to see how this particular graph should be coded. It is a good reference to use when creating your own graph and the user can take what they have learned and apply it to their own graphs. Also, it is fun to be able to change the graph and watch the changes be reflected in the code.
