[mathcad] Can the variables of a function be hidden ?
Author: Jian Wang    Posted: Mon, 18 Dec 2000 17:26:04 -0000
Dear there I have a self defined multi-variable function which takes almost a while line just to write the function name and its variables alone. Although it does not influence the final results but it does possess a problem when present it. When its differentiation is to be taken, the expression tends to be very long. Is there a way of hiding variables of a function so that only the function name is shown? Many thanks in adv.

For numeric differentiation, try this: A(a,b,c,d..):=MyVeryLongFunctionName(variable_1,Variable_2...) Otherwise, I recommend using short names.

There is no direct way to hide variable names. You may wish to consolidate multiple arguments into a single vector argument to shorten the variable list.

What language gives me easy access to the serial or USB port for contrl of hardware? Have used VB6 with some success and great difficulty and others Delphi but would prefer something as easy as QB45 in the days of DOS. Can I do it from MATHCAD perhaps by calling VB6 or some DLL?

What you could do is define a mathstyle "invisible" where you take a small font in white and use this mathstyle for these variables. (Format equation, from mathstyles select user1 click modify, select a font (and size, make it smaller if you wish) and select color white click OK and change user1 to invisible and click OK) You can call your function: Func( , , , ,) You can use a prefix operator to eliminate the parentheses. The comma's will be difficult: you can change the default variables mathstyle to invisible but this will probably present some other difficulties.. You can also define a text area, change the text area font property to white and drag this area above the (,,,) portion of Func(,,,) and bring thta textarea to front. ---------------------------------------------------------- Maarten Zijp Applied ComputerScience Group Leerstoelgroep Toegepaste Informatiekunde Wageningen University & Research Centre Dreijenplein 2 tel +31-(0)317-484079 6703 HB Wageningen fax +31-(0)317-483158 The Netherlands E-mail: (work) (personal) internet: http://www.info.wau.nl --- The Mathcad List - Discussion, Support & News Contributions: /> Hosted by: Adept Scientific http://www.adeptscience.com List Archive: http://lists.adeptscience.co.uk/ You are currently subscribed to mathcad as: /> To unsubscribe send a blank email to />
