There are several ways to create entities but here I use the new Interpreter functionįrom the above, you can see that Entities have a special new StandardForm but their InputForm looks straightforward enough. Entities are a new data type in Mathematica 10 and, as far as I can tell, they formally represent ‘things’ that Mathematica knows about. In order to get what I want, I have to pass an Entity that represents the UK to the GeoGraphics function. In all honesty, I’d have preferred no map and a simple error message. Fair enough, but why the map of Sheffield? Well, if you call GeoGraphics on its own, the default action is to return a map centred on the GeoLocation found by considering your current IP address and it seems that it also does this if you send something bizarre to GeoGraphics. The error message is “ United Kingdom is not a Graphics primitive or directive.” The practical upshot of this is that GeoGraphics is not built to take strings as arguments. What I got was a map of my home town, Sheffield, surrounded by a red cell border indicating an error message
MATHEMATICA MANIPULATE MANUAL
Obviously, I did not read the manual and so my first attempt at getting a map of the United Kingdom was GeoGraphics One of the new functions I’m excited about is GeoGraphics that pulls down map data from Wolfram’s servers and displays them in the notebook.
SystemModeler is too expensive for us to consider but the amount of control functionality built into Mathematica is useful.Įntities – a new data type for things that Mathematica knows stuff about Maple/Maplesim and Scilab/Xcos are the key contenders. Nonlinear control theoryVarious people in our electrical engineering department are looking at alternatives to MATLAB for control theory.I also know people in a visualisation group who may be interested in the new 3D functions on offer. I wonder if this will help turn MATLAB-heads. New image processing functions The Image Processing Toolbox is one of the most popular MATLAB toolboxes on my site.I’d love to know what they make of the things on offer here. Machine Learning I know several people who are seriously into machine learning but few of them are Mathematica users.Here’s a brief list of new functionality areas that I’ll be shouting about I support Mathematica (and several other products) at the University of Manchester in the UK and so I tend to be interested in things that my users are interested in. Most of the things considered in this article are whimsical and only scratch the surface of what’s new in Mathematica 10.
MATHEMATICA MANIPULATE UPGRADE
To be perfectly honest, THIS is the biggest reason to upgrade to version 10. A very popular Mathematica StackExchange question about multiple undoįinally, with version 10, our hopes and dreams have been answered and multiple undo is finally here.A Facebook page calling for multiple undo.A website with petition calling for multiple undo.I, along with many other users, repeatedly asked for multiple undo to be implemented but were bitterly disappointed for release after release.įew things have united Mathematica users more than the need for multiple undo: For the intervening 15 years, one aspect of Mathematica that always frustrated me was the fact that the undo feature could only undo the most recent action.
I’ve been a Mathematica user since version 4 of the product which was released way back in 1999. Instead, I’ll hop around some of the new features, settling on those that take my fancy. There is no chance that I can compete with the in-depth treatments given by Wolfram Research of the 700+ new functions in Mathematica 10 so I won’t try. Without a doubt, there is a lot of great new functionality in this release and I’ve been fortunate enough to have access to some pre-releases for a while now.
