I've never used Mathematica and can't find any good comprehensive explanations of the workbook paradigm. From the little I have found, it's basically a text editor interface where you can execute previously typed commands by hitting a shortcut and the output is appended below the command, while still retaining the ability to move all over the page, right?
- jrabone 14y agoPretty much - with folding and other niceties. Have a look at http://reference.wolfram.com/mathematica/tutorial/UsingANotebookInterface.html http://reference.wolfram.com/mathematica/tutorial/UsingANote... for a brief overview, and http://www.wolfram.com/technology/guide/SymbolicInterfaceConstruction/ http://www.wolfram.com/technology/guide/SymbolicInterfaceCon... for more information about the interface possibilities. Also check out http://www.wolfram.com/cdf/ http://www.wolfram.com/cdf/ for the more general attempt to make a dynamic document standard. I don't know how successful that's been.
- Produce 14y agoSo those controls in the last link can be displayed in the workbook as views on command output? I've been toying with a similar idea for a while now - wasn't aware that there were already implementations of it. I think we're going to witness/participate in a paradigm change in the near future. Thanks for all the links.
