Adding your own custom functions

[Pev]

First of all love the product. I've been introducing it to a large
number of my colleagues who all seem to find it useful..

I have only a slight issue where I find SpeedCrunch lacking. I realise
that it is light weight product while still providing a great
usability. But I feel that Speedcrunch would benefit hugely by having
a simple custom function creation interface.

The interface would not have to complex I think the simplest way for
best results would be to only allow one line type functions that can
take in multiple variables and spit out one back it. I feel a separate
folder called function within the SpeedCrunch folder could store the
functions as separate ascii files would be superb. You could use a
very simplistic .m format. That way the functions could also be used
in other programs for example:

------file testFunction.m begin
%This initial comment line could be used in the SpeedCrucnh
description of the
function out = testFunction(in1, in2, in3)
out = ceil(ln(in1))*sin(2*pi*in2)*cos(2*pi*in3)
------file testFunction.m end

Does anyone else think this is a good idea or have I missed something?


Cheers,

I'm not sure about the necessity to store it on disk with the format
you described, but function definition is a TODO for a long time now.
Please see http://code.google.com/p/speedcrunch/issues/detail?id=38

So... it will come :)

Cheers,

Yay! I was actually thinking about suggesting this exact thing. I
can't wait, but I guess my TI-89 will suffice until then.

Hi Helder

Great to hear it's in the works.

Could I recommend that you make it simple to share your custom
functions with other speedcrunch users people.

I feel having the functions stored in a simplified .m format will lay
great ground work for compatibility to other programs Octave Matlab
etc. Would also greatly help the incorporation of more complex
function options in the future if you wanted to go down that path.

Keep up the good work,

Pev
