I am sure the plot on that page was created with Mathematica. One way to add labels to curves would be to use Epilog. For example, try pasting the following into a Mathematica notebook: \!\(\(Plot[{ x, x^2}, { x, 0, 1}, Epilog -> {Text["\<y=x\>", { .4, .55}, {\(-1\), 0}], \ Text[\*"\"\<y=\!\(x\^2\)\>\"", { .6, .2}, {1, 0}]}];\)\) Another way would be to use the DrawGraphics package David Park created -- To reply via email subtract one hundred and four
