Class MathSessionPane

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.awt.image.ImageObserver, java.awt.MenuContainer, java.io.Serializable, javax.accessibility.Accessible, javax.swing.ScrollPaneConstants
    public class MathSessionPane
extends javax.swing.JScrollPane
    MathSessionPane is a visual component that provides a scrolling In/Out session interface to the Mathematica kernel. Much more sophisticated than the kernel's own "terminal" interface, it provides features such as full text editing of input including copy/paste and unlimited undo/redo, support for graphics, control of fonts and styles, customizable syntax coloring, and bracket matching.

    To use a MathSessionPane, either supply an existing KernelLink using the setLink() method, or provide a command line to create a link via the setLinkArguments() or setLinkArgumentsArray() methods. You must always arrange for the connect() method to be called, which will launch the kernel (if you supplied an appropriate command line) and cause the first In[] prompt to appear.

    The following key commands are supported: 

     Ctrl-X    Cut
 Ctrl-C    Copy
 Ctrl-V    Paste
 Ctrl-Z    Undo
 Ctrl-Y    Redo
 Ctrl-L    Copy Input From Above
 Ctrl-B    Balance Brackets
 Alt-.     Abort Computation
 Alt-,     Interrupt Computation (brings up dialog)
 (These all use the Command key on the Macintosh)
    Here is a simple program that uses MathSessionPane: 
            public static void main(String[] argv) {
                
                final MathSessionPane msp = new MathSessionPane();
 
                // Create the frame window to hold the pane.
                Frame frm = new Frame();
                frm.setSize(500, 500);
                frm.add(msp);
                frm.setVisible(true);
                frm.doLayout();
                
                frm.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
                        public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
                                        KernelLink ml = msp.getLink();
                                        // If we're quitting while the kernel is busy, it might not die when the link
                                        // is closed. So we force the issue by calling terminateKernel();
                                        if (ml != null)
                                                ml.terminateKernel();
                                System.exit(0);
                        }
                });
                
                // Modify this for your setup.
                msp.setLinkArgumentsArray(new String[] {"-linkmode", "launch", "-linkname", "\"d:/math41/mathkernel\" -mathlink"});
                try {
                        msp.connect();
                } catch (MathLinkException e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                }
        }
    To see a more complete application built around a MathSessionPane, look at the SimpleFrontEnd example application in JLink/Examples/Part2/SimpleFrontEnd.

    • Method Detail

      • setLink

        public void setLink​(KernelLink ml)
        Sets the link to use for communicating with Mathematica. Use this method if you already have a link you want to use, or you want to open the link manually. Most programmers will use setLinkArguments() or setLinkArgumentsArray instead and let this class open the link itself. Even if you open the link yourself and call setLink(), you must still call the connect() method of this class to prepare the pane to be used.
        Parameters:
        ml -
        See Also:
        setLinkArguments(String), setLinkArgumentsArray(String[]), connect()

        "-linkmode launch -linkname 'math -mathlink'"           (UNIX)
        "-linkmode launch -linkname '\"/Applications/Mathematica 4.1.app/Contents/MacOS/MathKernel\" -mathlink'"  (Mac OS X)
        The actual creation of the link will happen when you call connect().
        Parameters:
        linkArgs - the command line to create the link

        setLinkArgumentsArray(String[]), setLink(KernelLink), connect(), closeLink()

      • setLinkArgumentsArray

        public void setLinkArgumentsArray​(java.lang.String[] linkArgs)
        Sets the arguments to use to open a link to Mathematica. The string array is in the same form as you would pass to MathLinkFactory.createKernelLink(), for example: 
                String[] args = {"-linkmode", "launch", "-linkname", "c:\\program files\\wolfram research\\mathematica\\5.1\\mathkernel.exe"};   (Windows)
        String[] args = {"-linkmode", "launch", "-linkname", "math -mathlink"};         (UNIX)
        String[] args = {"-linkmode", "launch", "-linkname", \"/Applications/Mathematica 5.1.app/Contents/MacOS/MathKernel\" -mathlink"}; (Mac OS X)
        The actual creation of the link will happen when you call connect().
        Parameters:
        linkArgs - the command line to create the link

        setLinkArguments(String), setLink(KernelLink), connect(), closeLink()

      • getLinkArguments

        public java.lang.String getLinkArguments()
        Returns the string specified to create the link to Mathematica.
        See Also:
        setLinkArguments(String)

      • getLinkArgumentsArray

        public java.lang.String[] getLinkArgumentsArray()
        Returns the string array specified to create the link to Mathematica.

      • setConnectTimeout

        public void setConnectTimeout​(int timeoutMillis)
        Sets the number of milliseconds that the connect() method will wait to connect the link to Mathematica. If the timeout expires, connect() will throw a MathLinkException. You can use this timeout to prevent your program from hanging indefinitely in certain circumstances if the kernel does not launch properly. The default value is very large, effectively no timeout.
        See Also:
        getConnectTimeout()

      • getConnectTimeout

        public int getConnectTimeout()
        Returns the number of milliseconds that the connect() method will wait to connect the link to Mathematica.

        Gives the current contents of the pane as a string.

      • getTextPane

        public javax.swing.JTextPane getTextPane()
        Gives the JTextPane component that is hosted within this MathSessionPane. The JTextPane is the actual component that handles all text input and output. Advanced programmers might want access to the JTextPane to call methods directly on it.

      • isComputationActive

        public boolean isComputationActive()
        Indicates whether a computation is currently in progress. Programmers might want to know this for several reasons. First, they might want to disable/enable parts of their user interface, and second, they might want to know whether the Mathematica kernel is currently busy. This latter consideration is particularly important if other parts of the program want to use the same link. Programmers who are considering using this method might find it preferable instead to use a PropertyChangeListener to monitor the changes in the computationActive property.
        Returns:
        true, if a computation is active, false otherwise

      • getTextSize

        public int getTextSize()

      • connect

        public void connect()
             throws MathLinkException
        Connects the link to Mathematica and prepares the pane for use. The first In[] prompt will not appear and the pane will not be editable until this method has been called, even if you have supplied a preexisting link using the setLink() method. If you used setLinkArguments() or setLinkArgumentsArray() to specify link parameters, then the link will be created and connected at this time. The Mathematica kernel will be launched if appropriate.

        Do not call this until after the pane has been made visible.

        Throws:
        MathLinkException

      • closeLink

        public void closeLink()
        Closes the link to Mathematica. The link is not automatically closed anywhere in this class, so you must arrange for this method to be called.
