Calculate

Introduction

The Calculate Activity is an infix-notation graphing calculator. Type an expression or select components from the toolbars, and press Return to evaluate it.

More Info: Activities/Calculate

What is new for users

The new toolbar design has been added to Calculate. Plot, degree/radians, scientific notation, and precision buttons are always visible in the main toolbar (as well as the Stop button).

The activity toolbar is used to name the session, share, and keep a version.

The edit toolbar is used for copy and paste

The algebra toolbar is used for common functions such as square and square root

The trigonometry toolbar is used for trigonometry functions: sin. cos, etc.

The boolean toolbar is used for operators: and, or, and not

The constants toolbar is used for constants pi, e, Euler's Constant, and the Golden Ratio

31

Improve toolbar design (Gary C. Martin)
Add some constants (Gary C. Martin)
Parser improvements

30

Add support for matplotlib as plotting backend
Add support for complex plot ranges, e.g. -2*pi..2*pi
Fix superscript display bug

29

Fix plotting of functions
Fix parsing of (in)equalities
Fix toolbar button issues

What is new for developers

No News

Internationalization (i18n) and Localization (l10n)

Will be generated by the translation team

Compatibility

Note here if compatibility to an older version of the activity or an older Sucrose version (e.g. 0.84) broke

Detailed changes

New toolbar design
Add support for matplotlib as plotting backend
Add support for complex plot ranges, e.g. -2*pi..2*pi
Fix superscript display bug
Fix plotting of functions
Fix parsing of (in)equalities
Fix toolbar button issues
