andrejv / wxmaxima Goto Github PK

After a fresh installation of the new version (see below) I have some sort of dangling pane in the top left corner of the work book which obscures the area below. This goes away when I enable the History Window in the View Menu. When I disable the history window and restart Maxima, it is there again. This pane also contains the history. Here is a screen shot.

-------------------------------------------------------------
wxMaxima version: 18.02.0
Maxima version: 5.43.2

No issue, this, but a pointer to the new location, instead.

Using wxplot2d with a plot size of 800x800 or a plot size of 900x900 give plots of equal size. I can't seem to increase the plot size.

I'm using:
(%i1) build_info();
(%o1) build_info(version="5.42.1",timestamp="2018-11-08 07:21:46",host=
"armv8l-unknown-linux-gnueabihf",lisp_name="GNU Common Lisp (GCL)",lisp_version=
"GCL 2.6.12")
on a Pi4.

and

wxMaxima is a graphical user interface for the computer algebra system Maxima based on wxWidgets.

wxWidgets: 3.0.4
Unicode support: yes
Maxima version: 5.42.1 (armv8l-unknown-linux-gnueabihf)
Lisp: GNU Common Lisp (GCL) GCL 2.6.12

examples of bugs:

1. misalignment of cursor and text position - a real pain trying to edit. And when pasting from another editor because it's such a pain and never get thru when trying to use the one built in maxima, it puts spaces between every line when pasting and bringing up the file in maxima again and one has to go thru and manually take out all the spaces - though have found an alternate way though - by copying the many lines of code and repasting all in maxima - still one should not have to put up with that.

2)something as simple as
(n1:1,for n thru 4 do(n:n1,disp(n))) Not only ctrl I but Nothing not even alt M restart maxima does nothing but have to do ctrl-alt-delete and loose all your work - esp humiliating in cases of long programs

3. Also for: (n1:1,for n thru 4 do(n:n1:mod(n1,2),disp(n)))
   Instead of giving syntax error runs and ctrl i as usual useless and again can't
   even restart maxima - have to do ctrl-alt-delete to get out of it.
   Without the disp suppose this type of command is buried within a long program and maxima keeps
   forever calculating and one has a very difficult time trying to figure what is wrong.

4. In for example disp("all interparticle potentials which have ")
   it puts question marks at the end for NO reason

5. ASks ridiculous questions already given:
   (realonly:true,assume(w^2<1,w>-1,w<1),integrate(integrate(r1^5*exp(-alis[1]*r1^2)*r2^4
   exp(-alis[2]r2^2),r1,r2(1-w),inf),r2,0,inf)
   +integrate(integrate(r1^5exp(-alis[1]*r1^2)r2^4exp(-alis[2]r2^2),r1,r2(1+w),inf),r2,0,inf))

and asks; "is w^2-2w+2 pos.,neg. or 0" and " is w^2+2w+2 pos.,neg. or 0 ? "
when that is already obvious from the given assume(w^2<1,w>-1,w<1)

Sometimes (I think when I change preferences, not sure) the wxmaxima-init.mac file is overwritten with:

gnuplot_command:”/opt/local/bin/gnuplot”$

which contains invalid quotes ” instead of " and results in a parsing error on wxMaxima start:

/Users/msoegtrop/.maxima/wxmaxima-init.mac:1:43:incorrect syntax: ” is not an infix operator
t/local/bin/gnuplot”
                  ^
; 
; compilation unit aborted
;   caught 1 fatal ERROR condition

I am using the MacPorts installation - it might be that this is something MacPorts added in their port. Changing the quotes in wxmaxima-init.mac removes the error message until it is overwritten again.

In the latest version wxmaxima for windows it is not possible to change the
dimensions of the "Tips of the day" window.

I have an issue where a white box appears on the page and I am unable to remove it

I have a new computer and am trying to install wxMaxima. Installation appears successful, but, once wxMaximia is opened, a window pops up indicating that maxima proper cannot be found, that it was not installed (when it clearly was). The only thing I can think of is that the wxMaxima installer may have a bug with the use or misuse of slash vs backslash in the startup file location (as created by the install file, not by the user).

On my old PC, the startup file locations (in the wxMaxima Configuration Startup Commands) are:
c:\users<>\maxima\wxmaxima-init.mac
and
c:\users<>\maxima\wxmaxima-init.mac

On my new PC with the latest version installed, these paths look like this:
c:\users<>/maxima/wxmaxima-init.mac
and
c:\users<>/maxima/wxmaxima-init.mac

I don't know if the switching of a slash / to a \ would make a difference, but wxMaxima is not working.

white box blocking text is in the top left corner.

Using ?? then requires a further input to get back to input mode

eg.
(%i21) ?? sqr;
0: isqrt (Functions and Variables for Number Theory)
1: sqrt (Root Exponential and Logarithmic Functions)
2: sqrtdenest (Package sqdnst)
3: sqrtdispflag (Functions and Variables for Display)

x:4;
Ignoring trailing garbage in input.

But:
(%i21) ?? sqr;
0: isqrt (Functions and Variables for Number Theory)
1: sqrt (Root Exponential and Logarithmic Functions)
2: sqrtdenest (Package sqdnst)
3: sqrtdispflag (Functions and Variables for Display)

Enter space-separated numbers, all' or none': 0;
-- Function: isqrt ()
Returns the "integer square root" of the absolute value of ,
which is an integer.
(%o23) true
(%i24) x:4;
(%o24) 4

Doesn't seem how function should work.

Attempts to use the command ([gnuplot_preamble,"set size ratio -1"]) fail; the plot appears, but not with equally scaled axes.
The same command with '[same_xy]' does produce the desired output. This has been tried, with the same result, on two different Windows 10 machines.
So
wximplicit_plot(x^2+y^2=1,[x,-2,2],[y,-2,2],[same_xy]);
works, plotting a circle, but
wximplicit_plot(x^2+y^2=1,[x,-2,2],[y,-2,2],([gnuplot_preamble,"set size ratio -1"]));
doesn't and produces an ellipse.
