Challenge: wolframalpha plugin to display stats
Good find, looks interesting. I was just pointing to wolframalpha because I know it can be embedded into this wiki (see http://wiki.ubc.ca/Help:Widgets/WolframAlpha and http://products.wolframalpha.com/api/). Either way, is there a toy example on how we could get graph.tk to display anything in the wiki?
Not until we get the admin to install the iframe module. One thing that's not good about graph.tk is that it can't plot points...
I found a graphing widget, but if it's not good enough we can make our ourselves; it isn't too hard: {{#widget:WolframAlpha|id=45a99effbf17c0286917f132ab9d3595}}
Aehm, does your graphing widget plot equations? http://www.wolframalpha.com/widgets/view.jsp?id=45a99effbf17c0286917f132ab9d3595 Next steps: Embed it in the user statistics page, and make it read input from that page. Too bad graph.tk can't do points :(
Both can plot equations. Integrating the WolframAlpha one will be a bit hard though because the MediaWiki widget doesn't allow other input parameters.
