mathlink or wstp - Running .NET/Link on Mono (On MacOS or any UNIX or Linux Distro)


Has anyone have any luck running .NET/Link on Mono?


When I run .NET/Link to call Mathematica from within a Mono program, this is the error message I receive.


Unhandled Exception:
System.TypeInitializationException: An exception was thrown by the type initializer for Wolfram.NETLink.Internal.NativeLink ---> System.DllNotFoundException: mathlink
  at (wrapper managed-to-native) Wolfram.NETLink.Internal.MacMathLinkAPIProvider:MLBegin (intptr)
  at Wolfram.NETLink.Internal.MacMathLinkAPIProvider.extMLBegin (IntPtr zero) [0x00000] in :0 
  at Wolfram.NETLink.Internal.NativeLink..cctor () [0x00000] in :0 
  --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

  at Wolfram.NETLink.MathLinkFactory.CreateKernelLink (System.String cmdLine) [0x00000] in :0

Now the C# code for calling Mathematica is:


    _kl = MathLinkFactory.CreateKernelLink("-linkmode launch -linkname '\"/Applications/Mathematica.app/Contents/MacOS/MathKernel\" -mathlink'");

The same argument worked for J/Link, but for some reason does not work on NETLink.



Answer




To use .NET/Link from a Mono program, you need to make sure that the system can find the MathLink shared library. This generally means adding the appropriate path to an environment variable that the system uses for library lookups. You can do this is in the standard way that is appropriate for your OS/shell program, either in a shell config file or on the command line. For example:


On OSX:


export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH:/Applications/Mathematica.app/Contents/Frameworks/mathlink.framework
mono MyProgram

On Linux:


export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/Wolfram/Mathematica/9.0/SystemFiles/Libraries/Linux
mono MyProgram

Most of .NET/Link works fine with Mono.

front end - keyboard shortcut to invoke Insert new matrix

I frequently need to type in some matrices, and the menu command Insert > Table/Matrix > New... allows matrices with lines drawn between columns and rows, which is very helpful. I would like to make a keyboard shortcut for it, but cannot find the relevant frontend token command (4209405) for it. Since the FullForm[] and InputForm[] of matrices with lines drawn between rows and columns is the same as those without lines, it's hard to do this via 3rd party system-wide text expanders (e.g. autohotkey or atext on mac). How does one assign a keyboard shortcut for the menu item Insert > Table/Matrix > New... , preferably using only mathematica? Thanks! Answer In the MenuSetup.tr (for linux located in the $InstallationDirectory/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/TextResources/X/ directory), I changed the line MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog"] to read MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog", MenuKey["m", Modifiers-...

plotting - How to draw lines between specified dots on ListPlot?

I would like to create a plot where I have unconnected dots and some connected. So far, I have figured out how to draw the dots. My code is the following: ListPlot[{{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 3}, {4, 4}, {1, 4}, {2, 5}, {3, 6}, {4, 7}, {1, 7}, {2, 8}, {3, 9}, {4, 10}, {1, 10}, {2, 11}, {3, 12}, {4,13}, {2.5, 7}}, Ticks -> {{1, 2, 3, 4}, None}, AxesStyle -> Thin, TicksStyle -> Directive[Black, Bold, 12], Mesh -> Full] I have thought using ListLinePlot command, but I don't know how to specify to the command to draw only selected lines between the dots. Do have any suggestions/hints on how to do that? Thank you. Answer One possibility would be to use Epilog with Line : ListPlot[ {{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 3}, {4, 4}, {1, 4}, {2, 5}, {3, 6}, {4, 7}, {1, 7}, {2, 8}, {3, 9}, {4, 10}, {1, 10}, {2, 11}, {3, 12}, {4, 13}, {2.5, 7}}, Ticks -> {{1, 2, 3, 4}, None}, AxesStyle -> Thin, TicksStyle -> Directive[Black, Bold, 12], Mesh -> Full, Epilog -> { Line[ ...
