wxMaxima Description

Free and open source GUI for the computer algebra system maxima wxMaxima is a cross platform GUI for the computer algebra system maxima based on wxWidgets. wxMaxima will provide a nice display of mathematical output and easy access to Maxima functions through dialogs and menus. Here are some key features of "wxMaxima": · 2D formatted math display: wxMaxima implements its own math display engine to nicely display maxima output. · Menu system: most maxima commands are available through menus. Most used functions are also available through a button panel at below the input line. · Dialogs: commands which require more that one argument can be entered through dialogs so that there is no need to remember the exact syntax. · Command line history: the input line has command history and command completion based on previous input. · Create documents: text can be mixed with math calculations to create documents. See the howto for tips on how to use these features. Documents can be saved and edited again later. · Animations: version 0.7.4 adds support for simple animations. What's New in This Release: · new wxMaxima document format (not compatible with .wxm) which saves maxima output and inline plots into a single file (you can still save and load ".wxm" format, but you don't get the improvements of the new one) · images can be inserted into the document · when input is modified after evaluation, output becomes gray to indicate it is no longer up to date · styles section improved: colors can be set for all elements of wxmaxima document, title, section and text cells can have a different font, support for loading/saving styles into a file · "Open Recent" added to the file menu Minor improvements / fixes: · "unix copy" (copy on select) now working as expected (selection copies, middle mouse click pastes) · option to use evaluate with enter instead of shift-enter · full screen mode (alt + enter) · backspace and delete keys can be used for deleting cells when horizontal cursor is active · bugfixes · Restart Maxima doesn't clear the document · reduced the number of redraws - the GUI feels a bit snappier · Opening a WXM file doesn't automaticly restart Maxima
