Recently, something finally occurred to me when I was looking for ideas for my next “big project”. I realized that something that I had never seen before, and yet feasibly possible, was a graphics program for displaying MathPrint equations on the graph screen. So far, I have come up with 2 algorithms (using text commands for the main text and numbers, and Pxl commands for simple touching up) for doing this. One is the summation notation, which I can now display at any given row and column within the graph screen. Another is a matrix/vector bracket that can fit 2 rows of a matrix or 2 elements of a column vector. My next step is to optimize the algorithms such that I can input the amount of rows in this matrix (or vector) as a number n and have it be able to extend the bracket height such that I could snugly fit n rows of numbers inside of it. Does anybody know a good way to do this? Once I figure out this one thing, I can finish up the rest within a few weeks and give a download link to the program here. It will have documentation so that all you will have to do is input the non-MathPrint equation as a string as well as a few other style/redirect information variables and excecute the program and it should do the rest. This is being programmed on a TI-84 Plus CE, but once I figure this part out I can easily translate the code to support earlier calculators.

We're glad you came by, but you might find what you're looking for elsewhere. TI-Basic Developer is not the site it once was. While its information on commands and other calculator features remains almost second-to-none, its forum, archives, and even hosting service, Wikidot, have been decaying for years. The calculator community would love to see what you're working on, or help you in your next coding adventure, but TI-Basic Developer is no longer the place to do it. Instead, you should head over to Cemetech (primarily American) or TI-Planet (primarily international). Both are active, well-established forums with their own archives, chatrooms, reference material, and abundant coding tools and resources. We'll see you there, we hope. |
Summary:
This explains an idea I had for a program used to display the output of a calculation-based program in MathPrint, even if the calculator does not support MathPrint.
