Hello.

Until now for papers drawing, I use two specialized drawing programs.
For a forthcoming publication (alnong with my Supervisor Professor)
I want to use my knowledge in Mathematica (...which I think I have
gained!...)
than hanging around with two programs I must admit I am not very fond
of!

So below are two draws.

The first shows the cleavage stress on a (mathematical) crack.
The second (attempts to) show a (so called) cusp-like (mathematical)
crack.
I would like any comments regarding anything you think can be useful!

(Further, ) I know that this subject has been completely covered (and
actually one of my very first queries was in the same vein), but as
regards the procedure of Copy/Paste to a Word File which procedure
offers the least (if possibly!) declination in the quality of these
graphs?

Lastly, I wanted to draw a bounded region as that encountered in any
elementary text
in Vector Analysis (for example in the proof of the Green-Gauss
Theorem).
I can draw circles, ellipses and the stuff but I really need a
(smooth!) bounded region which shape is not so "canonical" as circle
or ellipse.
