Standard greetings

Welcome to Mathematica.SE! I suggest the following:

  1. As you receive help, try to give it too, by answering questions in your area of expertise.
  2. Take the [tour] and check the faqs!
  3. When you see good questions and answers, vote them up by clicking the gray triangles, because the credibility of the system is based on the reputation gained by users sharing their knowledge. Also, please remember to accept the answer, if any, that solves your problem, by clicking the checkmark sign!

Welcome to Mathematica.SE. Start by taking time to read the FAQ. This site is a collaborative effort, so don't only ask, but also give, by answering questions in your area of expertise. Also important, when you see good Q&A, upvote them, it shows appreciation. And accept the answer which best answers your question. Again, appreciation, but also a sign for others that the problem has been solved. Enjoy.

Welcome to Mathematica.SE. Right now, your question lacks any helpful description. The good thing is, you can simply edit your question and include as much description as you like. Please take the time to explain what you are doing where you hit a problem. This will help others to give you advice on how to solve your problem. If you are new here, start by taking time to read the FAQ and the guidelines you find in the "Help Center" at the end of the FAQ.

Minimal example

In its current form, your question is hard to answer without having a specific example. If you would consider including a small, self-contained code-example in your question, chances are much better that someone can help you with your problem.

Formatting

The styling of your question can be improved. Please take the time to read the markdown help page. You'll better communicate your problem when you use the right formatting.

Welcome to Mathematica.SE! In case you didn't know, you can format your code better by putting four spaces at the front of every code block (or click on the curly-brace button above the question editing area). Further, wrap short inline code snippets in a pair of backticks. This will make your post easier to read.

Lazy

Sorry, but right now, your question doesn't meet our standards. Show us some effort, learn the basics of Mathematica programming, meet us half way. There are tons of resources available, on this site and elsewhere. We are happy to help people who have specific difficulties and show us specific minimal code examples which exhibit them, but this is not the place to get your work done for you from scratch.

People here generally like users to post code/formulas as Mathematica code instead of just images or TeX, so they can copy-paste it. It makes it convenient for them and more likely you will get someone to help you. You may find this this meta Q&A helpful.
