Math Function Generator
Introduction
Math Function Generator is an extension that enables users to efficiently create, as well as modify, mathematical functions within the DOORS Next modules. Mathematical functions can be inserted into the module as image files with the help of this add-on. Additionally, the add-on also facilitates the ability to edit these functions in site, if required. This groundbreaking feature represents a significant advancement in the field, as it provides a streamlined and user-friendly solution for generating and editing mathematical functions within the DOORS Next environment.
Use Cases and Features
Based on the functionalities and use cases that this extension is helping you with, the current version of the extension contains:
Widget information section - section with version, short description and other informations about the extension
Online LaTeX equation editor button - after clicking, the user is redirected to the online latex editor, where they can create a function (Softacus is providing also the version without an online editor if needed).
Textbox - for inserting functions in latex formulation
Space for displaying the function - the function written in the latex formulation is visually displayed
Image size text boxes - for setting the image size: X-axis and Y-axis
Insert button - after clicking, a function will be inserted in the form of an image file for the selected artifact
Update button - after clicking, it will be possible to edit the selected function
Close preview button - after clicking the widget makes the space for displaying the function disappear
With the Math Function Generator, users can easily generate complex mathematical functions with just a few clicks. The plugin seamlessly integrates into the DOORS Next module, allowing users to insert the mathematical function as an image file, effortlessly enhancing the visual presentation of the module. In addition to its intuitive creation capabilities, the Math Function Generator also offers a powerful editing feature. Users can easily modify and fine-tune the generated mathematical function, ensuring its accuracy and relevance.
Preconditions and Restrictions
In order to have a function generated, the user must have the “Formula” attribute of string type created in project/component properties.
The widget is designed to work exclusively in module context and having an artifact selected to insert a math function after it, or update the function artifact itself.
If the user doesn’t meet the previous prerequisites the widget won’t work, and will show an informational message describing the problem.
