Hi Viacheslav. You can try this also.

I think the polygon drawing using a 2 column matrix (as it is part of the add element menu) is easy to understand and gives the basic idea how to do it. Perhaps one of the lines could get a third point such that the user sees that the method is not restricted to single segments. Also, the restriction to integer coordinates is quite a heavy limit. There are not many options to draw a paper plane this way. Sort of vector-based pixel art or pixel-based vector art.

Yet I see that the string encoding allows to much easier insert points, while adding points to manually edited matrices is a pain in the ass as long as SMath doesn't have basic row/column insert/delete function. For 1D array objects it is ok but not for matrices.

I need simple examples to explain the drawing capabilities that the plugin supports. As it turns out, people don't understand that they can draw not only with polylines, but also with sets of polylines. The same with shapes. You can draw sets of shapes as a single object (single trace).
If I insert a bunch of nested matrices, then at first there will be no sense in it. Simple examples are needed to gradually introduce the use of sets of nested matrices of various kinds.
Yes, this encoding is primitive, but after playing with it, it seems to me that they will want more.
I read some foreign forums where they try to draw shapes and not so many people understand how to do it correctly. Instead of combining and drawing in groups, they draw one piece at a time.

Perhaps this will be interesting to children.

Uni,

I guess that in this last period the features of the XY PLot Region ( and of the MathCad Block too ) are growing a lot and in my modest opinion there is the need to explain better this new features through examples and documentation otherwise there is a frustration thrying to use them .
Just for instance , the last feature of the possibility to draw an image in the XY Plot Region, you have done some examples and Alvaro too but they do not work however because is missing your picture or of the bird or however it is not clear where to place the image file that has to be displayed in the Plot Region.
Probably ( .for sure ) this is just a very stupid problem of mine but there are a lot of small things like this and I hope that people like Martin and Davide that are more ..how can I say ... capable on the didactical side ( or teaching oriented ) will be able to develop a littel bit of examples/documentation that explain better this plug-in features ( this is an issue that is strongly amplified for what Concern the Mathcad Block where is really difficult to understand clearly the development directions and why some features are developed , which is the logic behind them ) .
What has been said so far is not in the spirit of criticism for anyone but in the hope of allowing us to better use the plugins developed by you which I consider exceptional.

Take care and best regards

Franco
