Description
|
|
•
|
The com.maplesoft.openmaple.Engine class represents the basic interface to the Maple session. Engine starts, restarts, and stops the Maple session. It also allows for the evaluation of arbitrary strings, access to Maple help pages, and the creation of new Maple objects.

•
|
The following methods are available from Engine.
|
|
Engine( String args[], EngineCallBacks cb, Object user_data, Object res )
|
|
•
|
Engine is the constructor for the Engine class. It starts a Maple session and initializes the Engine object associated with the session.
|
|
Note: Only one Engine can be created during a single run of the JVM, even after the Engine has been stopped.
|
|
|
void restart() throws MapleException
|
|
|
|
void stop() throws MapleException
|
|
•
|
stop shuts down the Maple session.
|
|
|
Algebraic evaluate( String statement ) throws MapleException
|
|
•
|
evaluate accepts a string argument and evaluates it, returning an Algebraic object as a result.
|
|
|
void getHelp( String topic, int section, MHelpCallBack hcb, Object data ) throws MapleException
|
|
•
|
getHelp allows the user to access the contents of a help page.
|
|
|
void newTable() throws MapleException
|
|
•
|
newTable creates an empty Maple table and returns a Table representing that table.
|
|
|
void newExpseq( int length ) throws MapleException
|
|
•
|
newExpseq creates an empty Maple expression sequence of a given length and returns an Expseq representing that expression sequence.
|
|
|
void newList( int length ) throws MapleException
|
|
•
|
newList creates an empty Maple list of a given length and returns a List representing that list.
|
|
|
void newName( String str, boolean global ) throws MapleException
|
|
•
|
newName creates a Maple name and returns a Name representing that name.
|
|
|
Numeric newNumeric( type n ) throws MapleException
|
|
•
|
