Cantor

Cantor is a front-end for many mathematical software applications like Sage, Maxima, R and KAlgebra. Cantor belongs to The KDE Education Project and lets you use your favorite mathematical applications from within a nice KDE-integrated Worksheet Interface. It offers assistant dialogs for common tasks and allows you to share your worksheets with others.

Cantor's main features are:

  • Nice Worksheet view for evaluating expressions
  • View of plotting results inside the worksheet or in a separate window
  • Easy plugin based structure to add different Backends

  • GetHotNewStuff integration to upload/download example worksheets

  • Typesetting of mathematical formulas using LaTeX
  • Backend aware syntax highlighting
  • Plugin based assistant dialogs for common tasks (like integrating a function or entering a matrix)

Install Cantor

Cantor depends upon kdelibs, so in order to build Cantor, you must have kdelibs development files.

If you have a Linux box, then you can install the kdelibs-devel package from your distribution. If you have windows, then you can use The KDE on Windows Project, please note that there is already a Cantor.exe ported to windows, so is not necesary build the application. Otherwise, you can build and install kdelibs from sources.

The following steps can be used to build Cantor for a Linux distribution.

  1. First obtain the sources 

svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/KDE/kdeedu/cantor

  1. Replace the the content of cantor/CMakeLists.txt with this 

project(cantor)

  execute_process(COMMAND "${KDE4_KDECONFIG_EXECUTABLE}" --path icon OUTPUT_VARIABLE _dir ERROR_QUIET OUTPUT_STRIP_TRAILING_WHITESPACE)
  file(TO_CMAKE_PATH "${_dir}" __dir)
  find_path(KDE4_ICON_DIR oxygen PATHS
      ${__dir}
  )
  message(STATUS "using oxygen application icons from ${KDE4_ICON_DIR}")
else(WIN32)
    set (KDE4_ICON_DIR  ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/share/icons)
endif(WIN32)

  else(LIBSPECTRE_FOUND)
    set( WITH_EPS Off )
  endif(LIBSPECTRE_FOUND)

endif(NOT WIN32)

include_directories( ${KDE4_INCLUDES} ${QT_INCLUDES} )

add_subdirectory( src )
add_subdirectory( icons )
add_subdirectory( tests )
  1. Type this 4 commands: 

cd cantor
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../

You can choose where to install with this param DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX For example: 

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/ ../

1. Type this command 

make install
