Default Arithmetic cartoons

This cartoon explains addition of two numbers 2.34 and 8.9168:

http://tinyurl.com/d2veo

It is generated by my formula plotting system as a result of simple
input:

addition_cartoon( 2.34, 8.9168 )

These inputs could be created by humans (typed into a cartoon
generator text box or into a user submitted lesson or solution) or by
solvers. Some more examples:

A solver using these cartoons shows addition of user supplied decimals:

How is that of any use to the newsgroup? People in this group know basic
maths, so I would have to categorise this "self-promotion".

Nonetheless, it is a good tool.

I just thought that it was something new and original (I have not seen
such math cartoons on websites, although they do appear in math
software), but I definitely see your point. From now on I will limit
posting about my new features that I am excited about.

I don't know about you, but when you mention the phrase "arithmetic
cartoons", I always think of this:
<http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0052751/>
