Compute and plot
with MuPAD. In
SWP and SNB, compute and create
plots right in your document with the MuPAD 3.1.1 computer
algebra engine.
-
Animate 2D and 3D
plots. With newly-implemented
renderers, create animated 2D plots in polar coordinates,
animated 2D and 3D plots in rectangular coordinates, animated 2D
and 3D implicit plots, and animated 3D tube plots and plots in
cylindrical and spherical coordinates and vector fields. Define
an Animation Variable
for the plot and specify the animation start and end times and
the rate of frames per second.
-
Manipulate and
inspect 3D plots. Rotate, move,
zoom in and out, and fly through 3D plots.
-
Explore plots and
animations with the VCAM window.
View plots in read-only or read-write documents using the MuPAD
VCAM window with playback toolbar controls. Use your mouse to
start, stop, re-run, and loop animations; change the animation
speed; rotate; and zoom—all from the VCAM toolbar.
-
Label 2D and 3D
plots. Now you can enhance your
SWP and SNB
plots with text labels that move with the plot when you rotate
or zoom. You can specify the location of the label within the
plot both horizontally and vertically, and you can set the
orientation of the plot precisely..
-
Create 3D implicit
plots. Plot equations involving
three variables.
-
Use completely
revised instructions.
The new edition of Doing
Mathematics with Scientific WorkPlace and Scientific Notebook
explains how to use the built-in computer algebra system
to do mathematics and create plots without dealing directly with
the syntax of the computer algebra system.
-
Collaborate more
easily. Now you can import the
contents of files created directly in LaTeX or LaTeX2e into
SWP or SW using
a special non-SWP/SW LaTeX filter, even
if you can't open the files directly. The filter can read many
macro definitions not created with the program.
-
Extend typesetting
capabilities with new LaTeX packages.
Take advantage of the many new packages in Version 5.5 to enable
specific LaTeX behaviors and extend the program's typesetting
capabilities.
-
Get troubleshooting
help. A new, expanded edition of
Typesetting Documents in Scientific
WorkPlace and Scientific Word provides more typesetting
tips and tricks, new information about LaTeX packages that have
been added to the program, and a brand new chapter on
troubleshooting problems that can arise.
