- Hi~ o(￣▽￣)ブ
I'm HK-SHAO and welcome to use Plotter!
Plotter is a modern, full-platform graphical computing system based on the game engine Cocos Creator and the mathematical computing library math.js. Download link for the Plotter Android App 🔗: https://www.coolapk.com/apk/284166
Let's start with what Plotter is: a lightweight, cross-platform, web-independent, portable scientific computing software. In fact Plotter is not a game, but a very hardcore, very few people want to do it, or do it well - numerical modelling software/calculators.
The features of Plotter make it aimed at users such as:
-
Primary and secondary school students: four operations with units, simple function plotting, combinatorial operations, statistical operations
-
university students: vector/matrix operations, numerical calculus, extrema of multivariate functions, etc.
-
Educators: bring deeper concepts to students through imagery and more visualised operations
-
Engineers: all platforms, regardless of the device, and can be run offline
-
Programmers: conversions and operations between various bases, ultra-high precision floating point or large integer operations
-
Researchers:
-
Portability allows the device to be taken out for calculations and experiments whenever and wherever inspiration strikes
-
Unit-based operations allow researchers to perform calculations with units, convert values with units at any time, and ensure that there are no errors in scaling when calculating data.
-
The introduction of high-precision unitary constants such as Planck's constant, Avogadro's constant, etc., at any time
-
Q: Educators already have specialist software like Desmos and Geogebra, different engineers have specialist software for their fields and researchers have specialist tools like MATLAB, Mathematica and Python, what is the point of Plotter?
A: Plotter's vision is to make scientific computing simpler and easier; it encapsulates functionality that can be used in a variety of fields, making it accessible to a wide audience.
Q: What can be achieved by making scientific computing simpler and easier?
A: The rapid advances in modern science and technology have been made possible by the creation of computers. Both the sequencing of DNA and the simulation of protein structures have allowed modern biology to advance to a new stage, giving rise to bioinformatics. In the same way that the simulation of neurons in the brain has advanced brain science, the analysis of medical data has led to scientific discoveries that have benefited countless people suffering from disease. Finite element analysis has enabled us to simulate physical processes on computers and is widely used in industry. Simulation of the orbits of celestial bodies has led to what is now known as astronomy and astronautics. Simulation of the movement of chemical molecules has led to the discovery of new catalysts ...... I wonder how many scientists use MATLAB to analyse experimental data and how many mathematicians use Mathematica to perform symbolic operations.
So it can be said: new scientific discoveries are made in scientific computing driven by human ingenuity.
Stephen Wolfram, a computer scientist and particle physicist, has mentioned that computation itself is a new science and that pure computation may also discover the laws of the universe ......
Plotter is not that big, it is merely light, portable and offline, but its vision is still to make scientific computing simpler and easier.
Plotter supports a very wide range of plotting methods
For example, plotting rectangular functions, polar functions, series, iterations, parametric equations, implicit functions, plane regions and histograms, scatterplots, line plots etc.
Plotter is fully 3D and will later support the plotting of spatial surfaces and curves.
Plotter supports complex numbers, matrices, units and symbols.
Plotter has 400+ built-in functions and nearly 100 mathematical and chemical constants
Functions for: algebra, arithmetic, trigonometry, bitwise operations, combinatorics, complex numbers, geometry, logic, matrices, probability statistics, relations, sets, strings, units, arrays and other system operations
Constants include: most unitless mathematical constants, physical constants with units and chemical constants
The physical constants include: cosmological constants, electromagnetic constants, atomic and nuclear constants, and physical-chemical constants.
The functions and constants supported by Plotter can be viewed by typing help() in the expression input box
Type help (the name of the function or constant) and you will find a detailed description of it and how to use it.
Plotter's features allow almost any data to be put into a matrix, not only does it support and most matrix operations in the same way as MATLAB
Plotter is also a compiler and interpreter for scientific computing languages.
The main interface of Plotter is very simple.
At the top are the menu buttons, where you can open the settings page, go to the help page, adjust the vibration, restart the calculation engine, etc.
At the bottom is a list of registers to which variables generated during operations are added, which you can click to expand and refer to any of the lists in the registers at any time
In the middle are the function image axes and collimators, you can move the axes with one finger and scale them with two fingers. The buttons above the axes allow you to scale the axes or restore them.
Below the axes are the results of the operations, which you can expand by clicking on them.
Further down are the expression input box and the Calculate button, where you can enter an expression and it will be calculated immediately, and click on the Calculate button to store the result in a register.
By clicking on the up arrow button at the bottom, you can expand the keyboard and slide the input box to move the cursor.
The bottom left hand corner shows the coordinates of the current axis collimator.
In the settings page you can make various settings for the calculation engine, which are effective immediately.
Plotter will later open up more settings options and provide more interfaces to allow a high degree of customisation.
Plotter is the product of weeks of hard work by first year students at South China Normal University and is supported on all platforms. This includes Windows, Android, IOS, web and WeChat applets.
Plotter is paid software, but the free version has no feature limitations, no account registration and no ads.
If you support the development of Plotter, you can sponsor the developer (WechatID: HK-SHAO) to help the developer continue to improve the software's features.
After appreciating the developer, you will receive the following benefits.

Hi~ o(￣▽￣)ブ
我是 HK-SHAO ，欢迎你使用 Plotter ！
Plotter 是一个现代化的全平台图形计算系统，它基于游戏引擎 Cocos Creator 和数学计算库 math.js 开发。Plotter 安卓APP的下载链接🔗：https://www.coolapk.com/apk/284166
先说Plotter是什么：一个轻量级、跨平台、不依赖网络的便携性科学计算软件。事实上Plotter不是一个游戏，而是一种非常硬核，极少人愿意去做、或者做的好的软件——数模软件/计算器。
Plotter的特点使得它所面向的用户有：
- 中小学生：带单位的四则运算、简单的函数绘图、组合学运算、统计学运算
- 大学生：向量/矩阵的运算、数值微积分、多元函数的极值等
- 教育工作者：通过图像和更具化的运算方式带给学生更深刻的概念
- 工程师：全平台，无论在哪台设备都能允许，且可以脱机运行
- 程序员：各种进制之间的转换和运算，超高精度浮点数或者大整数的运算
- 科研人员：
- 便携性使得无论何时何地产生了灵感，立马就可以拿出设备进行计算和实验
- 带单位的运算使得科研人员能在计算时带单位运算，在任何时候可以进行带单位数值的转换，还使得在计算数据时保证量纲不出错
- 在任何时候引入高精度带单位的常量进行运算，例如普朗克常数、阿伏伽德罗常数等
Q: 教育工作者已经有像Desmos、Geogebra这样的专业软件了，不同的工程师也有各自领域的专业软件，科研工作者更是有像MATLAB、Mathematica、Python这样的专业工具了，那Plotter的意义何在？
A: Plotter的愿景是让科学计算变的更加简单和容易。Plotter封装了不同领域都可能用到的功能，使其受众较广泛，其设计使得它能够在任何平台上脱机运行，尤其是移动端，这使得软件的通用性和便携性很强。
Q: 让科学计算变的更加简单和容易能带来什么？
A: 现代科学技术的突飞猛进离不开计算机的产生。无论是对DNA的测序还是蛋白质结构的模拟，让现代生物学突飞猛进发展到新的阶段，产生了生物信息学。同样对大脑神经元的模拟推进了脑科学的发展，对医药数据的分析带来的科学发现造福了无数疾病中的苦难人群。有限元分析使得我们能够在计算机上模拟物理过程，广泛运用于工业。对天体运行的模拟造就了现在的天文学和航天学。对化学分子运动的模拟而发现了新的催化剂......不知道多少科学家用MATLAB分析实验数据，多少数学家用Mathematica进行符号运算。
因此可以说：新的科学发现是在以人类智慧驱动下的科学计算中产生的。
计算机科学家、粒子物理学家 Stephen Wolfram 曾提到计算本身也是一种新科学，存粹的计算也可能发现宇宙的规律......
Plotter的体量并没有那么大，它仅仅是做到了轻量便携和脱机而已，但它的愿景仍是使得科学计算变的更加简单和容易。
Plotter 支持非常多种绘图方式
例如直角坐标函数的绘图、极坐标函数的绘图，数列、迭代式的绘制、参数方程的绘制、隐函数的绘制、平面区域的绘制以及直方图、散点图、折线图等的绘制
