GRTensorIII is provided as Maple package in the lib/ directory of the project. This lib directory needs to be included in your Maple library path.
This can be accomplished in a Maple session with a command like (changing the path to the directory on your system):
|
1 |
libname := libname,"/User/peter/maple/grtensor/lib"; |
For Windows users (DOUBLE backslashes!!):
|
1 |
libname := libname, "D:\\grtensor\\released\\grt3\\lib" |
If the library is not found the cryptic error message will say something like: “with expects it’s first argument to be of type….”
Alternately, this command can be placed in the Maple init file in the home directory on your computer. See Maple Init File
GRIII can then be loaded via:
|
1 |
with(grtensor); |
And the output will be:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 |
"GRTensor III" "Copyright 2016, Peter Musgrave, Denis Pollney, Kayll Lake" "grtensor.org" [autoalias, gralter, grcalc, grcalcalter, grcomponent, grdebug, grdef, grdisplay, grinit, grload, grloaddef, grmap, groptions, grsavedef, grtestinput, makeg, nptetrad, qload] |
It is then useful to ensure you have a suitable path set for loading and saving metrics. This is controlled by the global variable grOptionMetricPath . The current option settings are displayed with the command groptions(); . The grtensor distribution includes a directory with some useful metrics in metrics/ .
grOptionMetricPath can be configured by assignment in the Maple session or set in your .mapleinit file.
GRTensorIII contains a new option variable grOptionMapletInput (default true ). More recent Maple releases have made dialog box input the default mode. The interactive routines in GRTensorIII now use these dialogs by default. If this is not desired, set this option variable to false . See ?groptions for a description of all the options for GRTensorIII.
Getting Started
There are multiple approaches to get started with GRTensor:
- consult the built in help. ?grtensor and ?grt_commands are a good starting point
- open one of the sample worksheets in the worksheets directory
- read the PDF docs, typically starting with grIntro.pdf in the docs/ directory.
