I am still trying to figure out how to format my data in tables. You see, I need to have a three column table... two containing data values and one containing input fields.

Where can I find help on this? -Barbra

The problem in hermitegraphexample.pg, setMAAtutorial gives an example of how this is done:

http://webhost.math.rochester.edu/webworkdocs/ww/pgView/setMAAtutorial/hermitegraphexample.pg (the graph won't display at this link, but you can see the idea)

Here is the source:

http://webhost.math.rochester.edu/webworkdocs/ww/viewSource/setMAAtutorial/hermitegraphexample.pg

The relevent section is



130: This graph was created using a hermite spline by specifying points at
131:
132: \{ begintable(1+scalar( @x_val3 ) ) \}
133: \{ row('x', @x_val3)\}
134: \{ row('y', @y_val3) \}
135: \{ row('yp',@yp_val3) \}
136: \{endtable() \}



The argument to begintable is simply the number of columns. (In this example calculated automatically for you from the array itself.)

The macros begintable, row endtable are defined in PGbasicmacros.pl under "macros for handling tables".

Your example would look something like

 

BEGIN_TEXT
\{begintable(3)\}
\{row(1,5,ans_rule(10) )\}
\{row(7,5,ans_rule(10) )\}
\{endtable()\}
END_TEXT

Hope this helps.
