CLUCalc 6.1

CLUCalc/CLUViz is a freely available software tool for 3D visualizations and scientific calculations that was conceived and written by Dr. Christian Perwass. CLUCalc interprets a script language called ‘CLUScript’, which has been designed to make mathematical calculations and visualisations very intuitive.

The new version of CLUCalc is contained in the visualization suite CLUViz. CLUViz separates the visualization engine from the CLUScript editor CLUCalc. In this way you can now use the visualization power of CLUCalc from within you own C++ and C# programs. The CLUViz distribution also includes the editor CLUCalc.

The CLUScript editor implements syntax highlighting to facilitate the programming of CLUScripts. It offers the standard functionality of an editor with copy, cut, paste and search and replace routines. Note that if you press CTRL + c when no text is selected, the whole line in which the cursor is places, will be copied. In structured programming it is nice to indent paragraphs. The Tabulator key indents a line. If you press return at the end of an indented line, the new line will have the same indent (hanging indent). You can also indent or remove the indent of a whole block of lines by first selecting the lines you wish to indent and then pressing CTRL + i and CTRL + SHIFT + i, resepectively.

You can visualize a script written in the editor by pressing CTRL + p. The script does not have to be saved before it can be visualized. You can also re-parse a script while it is animated. more
