Hi Andrej,
also I recently built my own interface for one of my favorite
programmes. I tried to construct the same thing for maxima,
but I couldn't find a way to catch the output or to feed
input programmatically. With the other app I just have
a kind of Sendkeys and post my stuff via clipboard...
kind of rough, I know. But that was possible because the
app uses stdin/stdout/stderr for in/out, and I don't have
even a clue, whether there could be any path into the
xmaxima-interface.
Do you have some information about that?
Also one aspect of my other interface may be of interest, since
it is a multi-line input field, very easy to deal with editing
of erroneous functions and the stuff. You may have a look or
download to see how it works at
http://www.uni-kassel.de/~helms/sw/aribashlp
just for an impression. (provides just an edit-area,
no syntax-synthesis intended)
</And a bit of flame, sorry... I'll not step often in such flaming,
promised:
I always *hate* this interfering flow of input
and output in *one* terminal. I'm fed up with that since the
early eighties, and I really cannot understand, that this
design is still alive... that's the reason, why maxima is
practically sleeping on my disk after some weeks of fiddling
around with it. I really would like to return to xmaxima,
but without an absolute need, I won't unless I can make
me a usable interface)
