I thought it was pretty lame of you to make fun of Andrew by posting a small
C program in comparison.
Whether it's your intention or not, your posts certainly seem to be trying
to discourage him to make such postings, which is a shame. Just because you
may already know everything about nomograms and postscript coding, don't
make fun of other people who are just learning and sharing their
experiences.

I was thinking, "Why would Andrew be getting a mammogram?" then I reread the title.
That would perhaps be more interesting, though. ;-)

Ohh, wow! That is just sooo cool. and the use of the modulus operator!
Brillant!

OK, a bit more serious now. I don't quite understand why they're
interesting either, but he felt compelled to share what he did because
someone else might be interested in it. Andrew has a profound interest
in mathematics, and perhaps here's something deeper to these nomograms
that I don't get.

I still fail to see the relevant difference.

No, I don't know anything about nomograms and little about postscript,
but the post seemed so trivial that I asked why it should be of any
interest. Is there something there I'm not seeing?

Which is precisely why I didn't understand his post.
I'm profoundly interested in programming, but that doesn't mean I would
post every single little piece of trivial software I make. If I come up
with something *really* ingenuous then I might be compelled to share it
with the few others here who might be interested in clever programming
tricks.
Thus maybe I just missed something in his post. That's what I asked.

Drawing some lines and a few numbers on a sheet of paper *looks* pretty
easy. However, you try making it so that when you draw the lines, you
actually get the *right* answer.
This is more difficult than it sounds...
Sure, the result might just be a few numbers on a page, but it took me
ages to get it to produce the correct answers. (Do you know the
mathematical properties of similar triangles? I had to look them up...)
