comment Write C/C++ programs calling Mathematica functions
Could you provide a simple Java(or C#) program that calls Mathematica to solve an equation? I know that creating these type of examples do take time but in the long run maybe others could benefit from your experience.

comment Why doesn't Mathematica plot $n(-1)^n$ with Plot?
I can't help but to read Mr. Wizards posts in Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth's voice.

comment Distorted graphics when using custom ticks and AspectRatio -> Full
Good to know. I just checked v8, it works fine there.

@Mr.Wizard, what mma version are you using? So, just to be clear the above output was for mma 9.0.1. I still have mm8, I'll try it there.

comment Remove tick labels, but retain tick marks in RegionPlot (and related functions)
When I create my plots I rather specify the ImageSize and set AspectRatio to Full in that way then I can specify my ImagePadding to correctly position my plot. I like your answer since it removes the unwanted data instead of just hiding it by making it transparent. The problem I have now is that I cannot extract the ticks marks because it wants the AspectRatio to be something other than Full. Any ideas how to deal with this?

comment Search the neighborhood area along a line in an image
Thank you so much for the link green/belisarius!!! I hope now I have a better chance at understanding more of Mathematica.

I've been trying to get a book on this (Power Programming With Mathematica) but I just can't find it. I guess I'll just learn by reading all the clever answers in here.

comment Plotting data points: Optimizing size and visuals
@Thomas, I added your function to the answer. I should note however, that the modified version gives some extra points as compared to the one I wrote. Feel free to make adjustments to your function here or write a separate answer if you should desire and I'll delete my last edit.

@RahulNarain, this is very interesting. Thank you for introducing me to the algorithm. I will definitely be using it later on. Would you mind taking a shot to this question to see with how many points you can represent the plots?

Thank you for the ideas belisairus/verde, I have added the code I ended up using based on your answer for future reference.

I knew there had to be some very short command to do this. Those plots look almost exactly as the original.

@Jagra, This is indeed a compression problem. I am trying Kale's solution on the actual data that I have but it is not having the results I was expecting. Could you perhaps show how an iterative compression algorithm work with the example provided? In this case all we want to have is a good looking picture (vector graphics) but without all that overlapping produced by plotting points that are close to each other. Oh, imagine a outlining a font. We have the figure, I just want to rasterize it and outline it.

Aha, I like the idea of using Interpolation and using the option PlotPoints in Plot. This reduces the amount of points plotted drastically.
