PocketCAS version 1.3.0. New Plot Function
« on: June 02, 2009, 10:00:27 PM »
Whenever I try and do a plot I just get the message:

Could not execute gnuplot properly: An error message cannot be displayed because an optional resource assembly containing it cannot be found

I'm using a Treo 750 which has a 240 by 240 screen.
I've installed "PocketCAS Main Package.CAB" and "PocketCAS Executable Package large QVGA.CAB"
I installed them on to my Storage Card because my built in memory is nearly full.

It's quite possible I'm doing something wrong.

I have been putting things like: y=x**2-5*x+6 in the Plot input box.

You have to just input x**2-5*x+6, without the y=.

Is there any way I can fix the missing optional resource assembly so the error messages are more meaningful?

Yes, there is an error message package available from microsoft. But it won't tell you much. Didn't my suggestion fix it?

Yes I'm now plotting 2D and 3D plots.

I just wondered if the message I received should or could have said something more understandable such as "Invalid Expression".

Thanks for your help :)

Well, it would have told you something like "File not found...".
