Hello, the idea was inspired by @interact but sometimes I'd need input box (or text area) not only for one block, but for the rest of worksheet the idea came when experimenting wiht matrixes (as their input is not comfortable): - textarea, where I can enter rows separated with spaces would be superb - there could be a rows x cols table with input boxes (with indexes) inside each cell
"input" stuff would be convenient for first time users to experiment lets say, if they could choose the function (or data file) from a listbox and then see the steps (blocks) of analysis (and can experiment with some blocks if they want) if "input" is combined with auto recalculate (and optionally can hide intermediate blocks, just show the (last) output), then converting existing worksheet to interact functionality would be a breeze "input" could also do some parsing and validation. I guess "input" definition blocks should be autonomous (not mixed with other code), so that it would be clear at what code position we already have the values probably the syntax could be just the same as in @interact just at least add new inputtype for textarea well, I can use usual (python) blocks to input data -- that seems not a big problem (but this is inconvenient (especially in matrix case)) I also know http://sagemath.blogspot.com/2008/02/mathematics-research-education-and-sage.html is there some sage-edu wishlist on http://sagetrac.org/sage_trac or somewhere? and for the sake of interest: what (modules) should be considered to hack to implement "input" functionality Best Regards ps.: by the way -- one more idea could be also implemented with interact (as wims is based on pari, as I know) http://wims.unice.fr/wims/wims.cgi?module=tool%2Fanalysis%2Ffunction.en -- Jurgis Pralgauskis omni: 8-616 77613; teledema: 8-657 65656; jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; skype: dz0rdzas; Don't worry, be happy and make things better ;) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
