Load code in Maple

Feenix — Thu, 16 Jul 2015 06:30:33 Z

I got a code file and i dont know how to load it in Linux. In Windows i just type:

read "E:/code.txt"

But thing now i change to use Linux and cant do the same (Maple 2015 64bit Linux ver), try to load

read "/root/Desktop/code.txt"

It show me that:

I click Cancel and it show me:

Hope can help me another ways to use and load my code to run.

How to add Maple environment to Maple IDE?

Yummy — Thu, 23 Apr 2015 03:53:25 Z

Why can't I run a produce on the Maple IDE? I can't add Maple environment to Maple IDE. The error is this.

Analysis of Ergodic Billiards

Tue, 02 Dec 2014 19:22:09 Z

Does anyone in the community know example worksheets that analyze "billiards", viz. trajectory sets of free, specularly reflected particles constrained to bounce around in a particular 2d domain?

Are there any examples using the Bunimovich Stadium Billiard?

Thanks,

Programming in Maple Language

SandraBeaver — Sun, 23 Jun 2013 18:07:17 Z

In this article I want to discuss the right way to store and build Maple code.

As mentioned in the Introducing the Maple IDE post, over 90 percent of the algorithms built into Maple are implemented using Maple language. The code of the algorithms is stored as Maple Libraries (.mla files).

As Managing Maple Repositories help page states, a Maple Library (also Maple Repository) is the recommended way for storing Maple procedures and packages. Moreover, the concept of Code Libraries is standard and widely used in programming, for example JARs in Java. The libraries help you to store, reuse and share your code easily.

Maple IDE automates creating of Maple Libraries completely. Your library will be build automatically during the coding and will be updated immediately after each code change. No manual actions are required to pack your code into a Maple Library.

Nevertheless, there are important cases, when you do not need to create Maple Libraries. The cases require the in-place code editor in Maple interface which was introduced in Maple 17.

These cases are:
- creating of temporary small procedures which will be used once.
- creating of documents where Maple code should be shown in place. For example, Maple help pages or tutorials about Maple language.
- creating of documents where the author want to show a small part of the code to the reader.

Of course, if your work is one of the above, but you have many lines of code or your code is not temporary, use the IDE to:

- develop using full-featured code editor (syntax coloring and error detection, code formatting and outline, content assist, code navigation, refactoring, code templates etc.)
- create Maple Libraries on-the-fly with automated builders
- test and debug your code directly from the environment
- be sure that the code will not be lost using build-in history or version control systems (SVN, GIT etc.)
- spread your work easily using version control services such as Github, Sourcefordge, Google Code etc.

Introducing the Maple IDE

Everyone knows that Maple combines a smart user interface with a highly sophisticated mathematical engine, where common tasks are performed quickly and seamlessly with point, click and drag operations. Of equal importance, however, is the fact that Maple is also backed by a comprehensive programming language. Also called "Maple", this language combines elements from procedural languages (like C), functional languages (like Lisp) as well as object oriented languages (like C++). Programming in this language is easy to learn and results in powerful code, due to high-level constructs (like map and seq), built-in knowledge of mathematical data structures and concepts, support for writing multi-threaded, parallel programs as well as a very rich library of existing commands and algorithms.

In fact, over 90 percent of the algorithms built into Maple have been implemented using this same programming language. Our developers, as well as our partners in research labs around the world, use the Maple language to create new Maple functionality. This same language is available to any Maple user for writing scripts, implementing new algorithms and extending the Maple system. Millions of lines of Maple code have been created, with more being produced every day.

The Maple IDE, which we just released today, will make it dramatically easier to create, manage and update libraries of Maple code. Together with our partner DigiArea Inc., we have created a modern development environment on top of the popular Eclipse framework. Features include the ability to quickly browse and search through source hierarchies, highlighting based on syntactic and semantic properties of the code, navigation, testing and much more. Programming medium to large libraries in Maple is suddenly a feasible option for more customers.

The new IDE will continue to evolve and you can expect a steady stream of new features in the near future. At the same time, we also continue to add coding functionality to our worksheet interface (like the code edit region in Maple 17 ) for writing small procedures and for developing Möbius Apps .

Whether you are new to programming in Maple or whether you are a seasoned expert, I urge you to give the Maple IDE a try. I know that many of you are relying on trusted companions like vi, emacs and notepad for your code development. I have switched to the IDE and I can say that I don't miss vi (much ).
