Beste Joachim, I came across your program because I was planning to register a project =20 in sourceforge and I did not want to make any duplicates... but I'm =20 not so sure if your descartes has to do with my pygrapher... I studying to become a math teacher. at school where I am following a =20 stage they use a closed source product named geocadabra, which =20 obviously only runs on windows based machines and is developed by a =20 colleague math teacher. what that software does is far to much for my needs: I just want =20 something Open Source (I want to involve my pupils in the project) that =20 is able to draw one or more f(x) =3D ... and possibly compute tangent =20 lines... other fancy things like derivatives or integrals and area =20 between two or more curves/axes, zero or maxima, could also be nice but =20 can come later... I have written, in just two hours work, a small almost working python =20 thing based on wxglade and Gnuplot. before I go on, I will have a look =20 at your project, but I don't want to make too much pressure: if the =20 pupils are going to participate, then it will be difficult to mainain =20 stability... I don't know. actually my fear is that I ask: "who of =20 you has linux at home" and they stare at me wondering which language I =20 am speaking. I don't know if wxglade also runs on windows, I =20 understood that your software does... why don't you put it into the =20 sourceforge cvs system? Mario. |
