Open Source Mathematica Formats and Protocols

Create LaTeX labels in Mathematica. In Mathematica 11.3 or later, simply evaluate ResourceFunction to install or upgrade MaTeX. A newer version can be safely installed when an older version is already present. MaTeX will always load the latest installed MaTeX that is compatible with your version of Mathematica. Mathematica is an excellent and flexible visualization tool, and even supports displaying complex mathematical formulae. However, its typesetting quality is not on par with Latex.

The h5mma package provides improved support for reading HDF5 files in Mathematica. It is significantly faster, more memory efficient and crash resilient than the built-in HDF5 reading support. h5mma has moved to BitBucket: https://bitbucket.org/simulationtools/h5mma

Beautifully Render* your Graphic3D and Shown or Manipulate right in the Front End (without Export to, ie 3DStudio Art Renderer, et al). For use with Mathematica 4.0 - 13.1. Makes file.ray or .pov that will look much like image in notebook except rendered. Works easily/automatically with many Graphics3D (and some Graphic) as well. However graphics in 13.1 is too big to comment on: many will work many not. Has many options to fix renders that aren't so auto. Now very portable (Apple, Microsoft, Linux) supported (given rayshade or povray binary download or compiled). No OS scripting needed. * raytracing makes more realistic images than GL/CL/Cuda (are best for game, geo/mapping, accelerated) but is slower. POVRay is supported about as well.
