Hi Joris, Vincent and texmacs-users.

Here is a link to create "tableaux de variations", a french didactical tool to study functions : http://math.et.info.free.fr/TikZ/TableauxVariations/index.html

It's pretty convincing when tested with my colleagues.

Best.

Hi Vincent,

I agree that it would be nice to do something to make this easier.
For the moment, you may also use the picture editor for this.
This is a bit less constraint, and less handy for drawing
the horizontal and vertical lines of the table.
Still, it might sometimes have its advantages: if you want
special dotted or double lines, precise control over where
you wish to put certain values, etc.

Best wishes, --Joris
