Scientific WorkPlace (original) (raw)
Scientific WorkPlace (often abbreviated to SWP) is a software package for scientific word processing on Microsoft Windows and OS X. Although advertised as a WYSIWYG LaTeX-based word processor, it is actually a graphical user interface for editing LaTeX source files with the same ease-of-use of a word processor, while maintaining a screen view that resembles but is not identical to the eventual output that LaTeX produces. For instance, its display shows text wrapped to the width of the screen rather than to the eventual page width, and colored equations rather than the black-and-white rendering that LaTeX would normally produce. It also includes an integrated computer algebra system.

| dbo:abstract | Scientific WorkPlace (often abbreviated to SWP) is a software package for scientific word processing on Microsoft Windows and OS X. Although advertised as a WYSIWYG LaTeX-based word processor, it is actually a graphical user interface for editing LaTeX source files with the same ease-of-use of a word processor, while maintaining a screen view that resembles but is not identical to the eventual output that LaTeX produces. For instance, its display shows text wrapped to the width of the screen rather than to the eventual page width, and colored equations rather than the black-and-white rendering that LaTeX would normally produce. It also includes an integrated computer algebra system. Because Scientific WorkPlace is based on LaTeX, it can be used to produce files in the house style of any scientific journal that also uses LaTeX, and the software makes it easy to change the overall style of a document in a single operation. It comes with many predefined styles, but installing a new style can be somewhat complicated. The developer of Scientific WorkPlace, MacKichan Software, Inc., announced on June 30, 2021 that it had ceased business and would no longer sell licenses to its software. Existing licenses would remain valid, but new installs would need to be verified by its licensing server, which it expected to maintain for at least two years. It also announced that Scientific WorkPlace could not be made open source as the software relied on the computer algebra system MuPAD, a closed-source product. Scientific Word 6.1 (the version without MuPAD) was made freely available for Windows and its source code will be posted to Github. (en) Scientific WorkPlace （常简写为SWP）为在Microsoft Windows和OS X系统上运行的软件包，其主要用途在科学文字处理。实际上该软件可视为同一家公司出品的文字处理软件Scientific Word集成了计算系统后的增强版，其所集成的计算系统先为Maple，后来改为MuPAD。 于宣传中其是以LaTeX为基础的所见即所得编辑器，但实际上其为编辑LaTeX源文件的图形用户界面，而具有同文字处理器一样的简易操作处理。此软件生成的显示效果类似LaTeX编译后输出的结果，但二者并不完全相同。例如其显示结果中的文字直接按照电脑屏幕宽度折行，而与LaTeX最终输出的页面宽度不同；又如其中显示的公式带有颜色，不似LaTeX中默认生成的黑白色渲染效果。同时软件中还包含有集成的计算机代数系统。 因为软件基于LaTeX，任意科学杂志只要同样使用LaTeX，其即可通过Scientific WorkPlace生成其特定的文章格式，且借助此软件，只须一次操作即可轻易改变文档整体的排版风格。软件业已内置有多种预先定义的格式，然而若要安装新格式其操作可能较为复杂。 20世纪70年代，新墨西哥州立大学的一些数学家合作编写所见即所得的文字处理系统，意图供给基于数学的学科使用，是为有关此软件之开发的肇始。研究者于1981年成立Triad Computing, Inc.公司，三年后推出代表产品T3，其同TeX语言的处理方式并不一致。自1988年开始研究者进而尝试结合文字处理器与LaTeX系统，于1992年推出Scientific Word，又于两年后推出集成了计算功能的Scientific WorkPlace。Triad Computing, Inc.经过更名、合并，后于1998年重新独立且以其联合创始人之一的姓氏命为今名MacKichan Inc.。 2021年6月30日，MacKichan Software Inc.声明其已经停业，将不再销售其出品之软件的许可证。已售出的许可仍将有效，而此后欲安装之则须经过公司之的认证，公司预期其至少可维持二年。同时开发者亦告诸公众称Scientific WorkPlace无法开源，以其依赖闭源软件MuPAD之故，但Scientific Word开源有望。 (zh) |
