From: fiechter@cs.pitt.edu (Karen Shalayda) Newsgroups: comp.sys.hp48 Subject: AVW48 version 0.1 - post Date: 11 Dec 1994 21:07:34 GMT Organization: Univ. of Pittsburgh Computer Science AVW48 Version 0.1 An algebraic object visualization library for the hp48 (c) 1994 by Claude-Nicolas Fiechter AVW48 provides three commands to convert algebraic objects (symbolic expressions, symbolic matrices and symbolic vectors) into graphic objects and to display them in a "pretty" way, similar to that of the calculator's EquationWriter. Advantages of AVW48 over the HP48's EquationWriter include: * Displays symbolic matrices and symbolic vectors (represented by lists of symbolics) in a nice, easily readable form; * Can display algebraic objects in three different sizes (using small, medium or large base characters); * Approximately 10 times faster than EquationWriter; * Does not introduce superfluous parentheses in displayed expressions; * The conversion to GROB does not affect the display (so it can be used in a user program without altering the current display). Version 0.1 of AVW48 is a GiftWare release. It is given here in uuencoded form. Try it. Claude-Nicolas
