Create Maple Initialization File
|
|
By creating an initialization file, you can set up Maple to automatically execute a series of commands on startup and after every restart. This is useful for setting Maple global variables such as Digits and Order. Alternatively, you can enter Maple commands into the StartupCode region of a file. You can also designate regions in the worksheet for automatic execution. For more information on automatic execution, see Setting the Autoexecute Format.
|
|
|
The initialization file is an ASCII text file that contains the commands in Maple syntax. It is recommended that you use a colon to end the commands so that the output is not printed in the worksheet on startup. In multiple user environments, one initialization file can be defined for all users, and all users can also have their own initialization file. The specific name and location of this file varies depending on the operating system.

|
Windows
|
|
|
|
Under Windows, the initialization file is called maple.ini.
|
|
|
If <Maple>\lib\maple.ini exists, it is loaded first (where <Maple> is your Maple installation directory). With a network installation of Maple, the commands in this initialization file will be executed by all users on the network.
|
|
|
To execute a user's personal set of commands, only the first initialization file in one of the following paths will be loaded.
|
|
|
1) The binary directory of your current working directory (for example, "c:\Program_Files\Maple\bin.win\maple.ini")
|
|
|
2) The <Maple>\Users directory (for example, "c:\Program_Files\Maple\Users\maple.ini")
|
|
|
3) The user's personal profile directory (multiuser only) (for example, "c:\Documents_and_Settings\userid\maple.ini")
|
|
|
Maple reads and executes the network initialization file before the personal initialization file.
|
|
|
|
Macintosh
|
|
|
|
Under Macintosh, the personal initialization file is called .mapleinit, and the global initialization file is called init. The commands in the initialization file will be executed by all users on the network by placing the file in the Maple lib directory, for example, $MAPLE/lib/init.
|
|
|
To execute a user's personal set of commands, the initialization file should be placed in the user's home directory under Macintosh, for example, $HOME/.mapleinit.
|
|
|
Maple reads and executes the network initialization file before the personal initialization file.
|
|
|
|
UNIX and Linux
|
|
|
|
Under UNIX and Linux, the personal initialization file is called .mapleinit, and the global initialization file is called init. The commands in the initialization file will be executed by all users on the network by placing the file in the Maple lib directory, for example, $MAPLE/lib/init.
|
|
|
To execute a user's personal set of commands, the initialization file should be placed in the user's home directory under UNIX, for example, $HOME/.mapleinit.
|
|
|
Maple reads and executes the network initialization file before the personal initialization file.
