Meta-information about images

Hi, Dr. J. Rodal. Thanks for all your uploads of images related to the Beta distribution article. A good idea when uploading created context such as yours is to add some detail about the programs used to create them (name and version). It's even possible sometimes to add the source code that created them. This allows the images to be reproducible for others in the future in case somebody wants to update the image to fix something or to make style changes. Jason Quinn (talk) 19:04, 11 October 2012 (UTC)
