commands to change settings modes for HOME and CAS but by software?

[compsystems]

Which are the commands to change modes?, for example exact mode to approximate mode and viceversa, and simplifications, none, maximun, and others of HOME-CAS settings etc

I found some to change angle and other settings?

Code:

    export getMode_angle()
    begin
        if AAngle == 1 then
            return( "RADIAN" );
        else
            if AAngle == 2 then
                return( "DEG" );
            else 
              return( "SYS_ANGLE" );
            end;
        end;
    end;
    
    export setMode_angle( angle_mode )
    begin
        if angle_mode == "RADIAN" then
            AAngle := 1
        else
            if angle_mode == "DEG" then
                AAngle := 2
            else 
              AAngle := 0
            end;
        end;
    end;

I am creating a library for configuring modem by strings, which is much more intuitive than by numbers.

if getMode_angle() == "RADIAN" then
...
else
...
end;


setMode_angle( "RADIAN" );

setMode_angle( "DEG" );

Thanks for your reply

I would like to know this too, have you found anything out?

I want to save the calculators state, so I can change what I need for my program, and then restore it when it completes.


Anyone know how to change calc settings through program?

You can save your settings by simply creating a list containing the various values of each setting. For example,

HVars("MySettings"):={ Language, HAngle, HFormat, HDigits };

will save the language, angle, number format, and digit settings. Then you can restore them with:

LOCAL mysetttings:=HVars("MySettings");
Language:=mysettings(1);
HAngle:=mysettings(2);
HFormat:=mysettings(3);
HDigits:=mysettings(4);

As for programs that would allow users to use more descriptive names for settings, you can shorten your program considerably using a fixed list. For example,

Code:

AngleNames:={"Radians", "Degrees", "Gradians"};
export SetAngle(a)
begin
  local n:=pos(AngleNames,a);
  HAngle:=min(0,n-1); // will default to radians if no match
end;

export GetAngle()
begin
  return(AngleNames(HAngle + 1));
end;

You can also use just "RDG" along with instring() for something shorter:

Code:

export SetAngle(a)
begin
  HAngle:=min(0,instring("RDG",a)-1);
end;

You can modify the variables shown in the Help.


These variables modify the general configuration (Home):




These are used to manipulate Apps:

Did you read the third and fourth post?

[AngryNapkin]

That is strange, it posted my question twice here. I did read the posts, and I said thanks for the help. Why this is at the end is strange, and was not from me posting the same question.

I will ask further help with this though. I am able to change my angle "HAngle" from the home screen using HAngle:=0;
But when I try this in a program, I get syntax error. Not sure what Is wrong.

Never mind, found I was trying to change it outside the function.
