Front End Vision for Mathematica

Questions

1

Hello,

I’m new to Mathematica.
I just purchased the “Front-End Vision and Multi-Scale Image Analysis” book from Bart M. ter Haar Romeny that uses Mathematica.
I installed the available material that comes with this book from the Springer site, as written in the documentation, mainly copied the files to “C:\Program Files\Wolfram Research\Mathematica\10.2\AddOns\Applications”

As this book is rather “old”, the version of Mathematica used is 4.0 and mine is 10.2

When I’m using the first line of the *.nb example, I’m getting this error.

<< FrontEndVision`FEV`

Get::noopen: Cannot open Graphics`. >>

Needs::nocont: Context Graphics` was not created when Needs was evaluated. >>
....

Has anybody some experience with the use of the software that comes with this book ?

Thanks in advance
Francois

Try loading the legacy graphics package << Version5Graphics` before FrontEndVision.

No luck !

<< Version5Graphics`

Get::noopen: Cannot open Version5Graphics`. >>

$Failed

Between Version5 and Graphics there should be a backtick. Somehow this web editor has deleted it.

With the missing “back tick” I get no more error for the Version5 graphics loading.

But I still get errors; the back ticks are removed by the editor :frowning:

There are so many backward incompatibilities… Can you get hold of an old computer with Mathematica 5.2 still installed and running?
