This posting is motivated by an earlier posting: [Plotting a specific branch of a multi-valued complex function][1]. However it uses an entirely different method to representi the function, showing the entire function and not just a single branch. ...
I would like to create a PasteButton that will paste the following expression into an existing Input Cell and display in the Input Cell with the 6 place precision while keeping the full underlying machine precision. From my efforts I suspect that...
We have a bug that occurs on one machine and not others. The bug does not occur when "Evaluate Notebook" from the Evaluation menu is used with a fresh kernel. But it does occur when, with a fresh kernel, the notebook is evaluated by hand, cell by...
Why is it that when I try to copy off the coordinates from a point in Graphics it gives me the result as Strings instead of numbers? I use the following procedure: 1) With the pointer in an existing 2D Graphics I use right-click and Get...
Why did Wolfram decide to display output units in a gray color? For example: Quantity[125.3 \[PlusMinus] 0.6, "Gev/SpeedOfLight"] These are usually significant results of a calculation or measurement. Displaying output in gray rather...
Since Mathematica 10.3 I have found that, in any notebook, the first time I evaluate an information request, for example ?Plot the response is very slow - usually 15 to 20 seconds. This seems to be associated with a connection to a Wolfram...
I believe that the Mathematica graphics paradigm could be much improved. I see as a problem that it has become more and more filled with special types of unrelated plots. In an effort to add flexibility to these plots I feel they have been encumbered...
The new Inactive, Inactivate and Activate routines in Mathematica 10 are extremely nice. But they have one shortcoming in my view. The coloring of the inactive functions is far too light. I would like to specify the color of such symbols, and in fact...
What are the general techniques for producing smoothly functioning dynamical graphics when a large portion of the graphics is static and only a small portion is dynamic? To be more specific, suppose I need two plots in a row. They both have...
I would like to make a few suggestions for Workbench and the writing of applications. I believe they accord with the way users doing significant research or development might work. It would be very nice if they could have a straightforward, clear...
