In the 2000s and 2010s, interest on interactive editing of structured text encouraged the development of programs intended for scholars in the humanities an example of this is CWRC-Writer, a visual XML editor with "Close-to-WYSIWYG editing and enrichment of scholarly texts with meaningful visual representations of markup".
#Matrix texmacs download#
Download TeXmacs plugin and unpack it in ~/.TeXmacs/plugins/ directory. For more information I refer you to the mailing list. TeXmacs support for FriCAS appeared not so long ago and still in its experimental stage. Nevertheless, after all these actions I have TeXmacs working well with Axiom.
#Matrix texmacs install#
And to make it work I had to to install libreadline v5 package. But for some reason (no AXIOMsys in PATH?) Axiom from Ubuntu 10.10 repositories refuses to interact with TeXmacs, so I’ve downloaded it from the official site. TeXmacs should be capable of supporting Axiom out of the box, just do Insert -> Session -> Axiom within TeXmacs. TeXmacs should be ready for work with qt interface. After configuration is done you can start building: make If something is missing, it will print some error messages which will give you a clue what packages you should install to be able to build TeXmacs.
#Matrix texmacs software#
NOTE: You may want some extra options, like -prefix= to alter the installation directory, it’s all up to you.Ĭonfigure will check whether all required software is installed. configure -with-freetype -enable-qt -with-cairo -with-imlib2 -with-qt
Then, issue the following command in the unpacked TeXmacs directory. Compiling TeXmacs with Qt.įirst, download the sources and unpack them somewhere. So you have to build texmacs-qt from sources. The one that comes with Ubuntu 10.10 is using some ancient toolkit, so TeXmacs looks old-fashioned and its appearance is not really customizable. However, there is no qt version of TeXmacs in Ubuntu repositories (likely there is no even a. TeXmacs is not only a scientific editing platform, but also serves as a frontend to several CAS’s, including Axiom and since recently FriCAS. To run it issue a command of the same name: efricasĪnother solution to GUI problem is called TeXmacs. One of them, called efricas, is based on emacs. Next time use the following command to run FriCAS: rlwrap fricas -noclef
If you are having problems with Home, End, Delete keys, install rlwrap. You may want to have something different instead of 120, choose the value you like more. Put the following lines in it: )set output characters default fricas.input file in your home directory.
To make this commands applied at startup create. I also set output length to 120 since I usually have FriCAS window maximized. Fortunately, there are several ways to improve the output.
I believe many newcomers to Axiom will consider reading ASCII formated output to be as hard as reading matrix digital rain. For example trying to evaluate will lead you to the following result: (1) -> integrate(1/(x**3 * (a+b*x)**(1/3)),x) The first difficulty one encounters in Axiom is that it has no GUI. This post was heavily edited because of new FriCAS version.Īt last I’ve started learning Axiom (or FriCAS, its fork, they aren’t very different by now).
