To share a permalink for your graph, click the Share button in the top toolbar of the calculator. A drop down menu will appear with a section titled "Share your graph:" You can copy and paste this link to share your graph and all of your expressions. Click Copy to copy the link to your clipboard.
it's totally unclear what to do with the "nice graph ! want to consider featuring it ?" button:
should it be pressed each time or is it a flip/flop persistant choice ? which slightly different grey means yes vs no ?
Cool, but it give a very dangerously ambiguity of what kind of "permanent link" it ease:
One has to understand that it is a permalink to THIS VERSION of the graph. Each save changed will have a new permalink.
This is cool to avoid messing people with broken or too different next version. Conversely, you have to remember to update your wikis/forum/webpages/collegues with the new link at each important change ! Indeed it would be good to also have a "permanent" permalink attach to the graph name per se, i.e. always the lastest version.
Useful for showing image+link, but a *real* functional embeding would be even more useful !
Does your account not hold a list of graphs you shared? If you forget or lose the permalink is it lost for good?
Is it possible to see the time you shared your graph with someone???
I shared a graph at 2:52 pm and the recipient did not receive my shared graph till 3:03 pm and it was due by 3:00 pm.
the sharing was done be email, right ? then the receiver just have to display the hidden data associated to the email to see all the details (comprising sending date).
This doesn't work when using the ipad app...it just says /calculator. I guess I would need to direct students to use Safari if they wanted to send me a link to their graph.
Is it really the case that there's no option at all to share from the mobile app? Not even a copyable link? (I use Android; iPad users may have the same issue.)
This is a really surprising oversight, considering the otherwise well-thought user interface. Are we missing something obvious? Can I volunteer a few hours to get this done, or is this an intentional omission?
Can other people edit shared graphs?
Why not just trying rather than asking ? ;-)
Answer is yes, but of course if you save it will be a different version than the original, stored in your folder.
A related question: Is there a way to edit a graph, save it, but have the permalink unchanged?
I have computed over 200 data points numerically, manually entered them into a table, plotted this data on a line graph, and shared the URL of this graph.
It turns out this graph has a point of inflection, where it changes from being concave down to concave up. After writing a computer program to find this point of inflection, I would like to add this data point to the table and have it plotted. The overall plot doesn't change, it is an intermediate point, but the plot is a little smoother, since it uses one more data point. But when I save the new graph, the URL changes. I'd rather not go back and change the URL in all the places I have shared it.
Hence, my question.
