This article has been retained as a historical document. It is not up-to-date and the formatting may be lacking. Use the information herein with caution.

These are now the current problem techniques. The ones listed on this page, although still work in PG, use out of date techniques.

Any additions to the indexed snippets below should use the same format. A suggested model is provided in this snippet template.

Index of Problem Coding Techniques

This index links to problem code snippets that quickly show how to accomplish each effect. Each has limited explanation that assumes a basic understanding of how PG files are written. If you want more details, please see the MathObjects documentation, POD documentation, PG macro files, and PG library files.
