HP Prime Graphing Calculator Notes Editing

[trentfewkes]

Hi, I'm new to these forums this will be my first post.

I want to write lengthly notes invloving lots of formulas for my calculator. Using the calculator itself to do this editing is simply too inefficient to consider, entering even one formula can take several minutes. The HP Connectivity Kit software only offers basic text input inadequate for my purposes. The emulator too doesn't allow the ease of input I'm looking for. If any of you out there are familiar with the LaTeX typesetting language, I'm hoping to find a software package that would allow me to develop the notes using a text editor and compiler that recognises such expressions as "\int_{0}^{x} f(x) dx" and symbols like "\Sigma".

So does anyone know of any methods or programs that would allow the easy development of notes involving many complex formulas.

Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

Hi,

I am not aware of any editor that can interpret for the Prime. You can try posting your questions here:

I know on the HPMuseum forum there are regular discussions on PC editors for calculator programs. The good news is they are pretty focussed on the Prime right now.

On a personal note, I am experimenting with copying text from the HP-39gii Connectivity Kit. Although some characters are not displayed properly, they are correctly interpreted when copied back to the calculator. I want to try and build a library of shortcuts for those characters in an editor like Notepad++, for easy recalling when writing 39gii stuff on a pc. I'll post back in future if I make any progress.

Regards.
