Changes to MathXplorer/T Tcl Packages

• Version 1.0 (beta)

  First public release of Tcl package Mxt providing two commands: mexpr and m2t. mexpr evaluates MathViews scripts; m2t formats MathViews variables into Tcl lists.

• Version 1.1

  • command mexpr is deprecated. To create a MathViews interpreter called mv1, use the new minterp command as follows:

    minterp create mv1

    To create a 3×2 random matrix x, use the eval option:

    mv1 eval { x=rand(3,2) }

  • Command m2t is also deprecated. To format Tcl list from a MathViews variable x created with a MathViews interpreter mv1, use the var option as follows:

    mv1 var x

    (See the documentation for the minterp for more details.)

  • The interactive MathViews evaluation option was removed, due to the limitations of wish under Windows in dealing with the standard input. The option may be restored in a future release.
  • Added support for 2D and 3D figures.
  • Added built-in MathViews function eeval() capable of evaluating Tcl scripts from MathViews scripts.
  • Added a new Tcl package MxtGr providing the command graph. graph creates Tk widgets capable of rendering MathViews figures.
