WXMAXIMA(1) General Commands Manual WXMAXIMA(1) NAME wxmaxima, wxmxdiff - wxWidgets interface and diff viewer for Maxima SYNOPSIS wxmaxima [-v] [-h] [-o <str>] [-e] [-b] [-d] [--logtostderr] [--pipe] [--exit-on-error] [-f <str>] [-u <str>] [-l <str>] [-X <str>] [-m <str>] [--enableipc] [input file...] DESCRIPTION wxMaxima is a rather self-explanatory graphical front-end to the Maxima computer algebra system. It provides a graphical interface and 2D formatted output display for Maxima. Its menu system facilitates access to a huge part of the Maxima native set of commands and also to a browsable Maxima help. The dialogue windows make easy the introduction of mathematical enti- ties such as limits, matrices, etc. Besides that, it extends Maxima with a few powerful features like the ability to create diagrams with one parame- ter bound to a slider gui control. One can create worksheets, which can include mathematical cells (and the results) but also different headlines, text cells, images, page breaks, etc. Maxima is a free (GPL) common lisp implementation based on the original computer algebra system Macsyma developed at MIT. It has full documentation (HTML and info) included. wxMaxima uses the cross-platform GUI toolkit wxWidgets and runs natively on many operative systems. If invoked as wxmxdiff (e.g., via a symbolic link), it acts as if the -d / --diff option was specified, launching directly into the side-by-side Diff viewer comparing the files specified as parameters. OPTIONS -h, --help Help: prints a list of options. -v, --version Prints the current version. -b, --batch processes the file, saves it afterward. Will halt if wxMaxima finds an error message in Maxima's output and pause if Maxima asks a ques- tion. -o, --open=<str> Open a file at startup. -e, --eval=<str> Evaluate the file after opening it. -d, --diff Compare 2 or 3 files side-by-side using the Diff viewer. --logtostderr Log all "debug messages" sidebar messages to stderr, too. --pipe Pipe messages from Maxima to stdout. --exit-on-error Close the program on any Maxima error. -f, --ini=<str> Allows specifying a file to store the configuration in -u, --use-version=<str> Use Maxima version <str>. -l, --lisp=<str> Use a Maxima compiled with lisp compiler <str>. -X, --extra-args=<str> Allows to specify extra Maxima arguments -m, --maxima=<str> Allows to specify the location of the Maxima binary. --enableipc Lets Maxima control wxMaxima via interprocess communications. Use this option with care. FILES ~/.config/wxMaxima.conf The personal wxMaxima initialization file, where user-specific set- tings are stored. ~/.maxima/wxmaxima-init.mac If the Maxima user directory - usually ~/.maxima/ - contains a text file named wxmaxima-init.mac the contents of the file are passed to Maxima automatically every time a new worksheet has been started. BUGS If you find a bug in wxMaxima, please report it in the wxMaxima bug data- base (Please check first, if it was not already reported.) And if you have a fix, that would be great. wxMaxima is an open-source project, where you can contribute. If the issue is a mathematical bug, it might be a bug in Maxima (the back- end, which does the mathematical computations), not wxMaxima (the graphical frontend).
