A Macaulay2 package to help visualize algebraic objects in the browser using javascript.
Current development has temporarily moved to https://github.com/Macaulay2/Workshop-2014-Berkeley/tree/master/Visualize
This package is still in development.
visIdealThis allows the user to view an interactive image of the lower boundary of the exponent set of a monomial ideal in three variables.
Assuming Macaulay2 is installed on your machine, the following directions will help in the downloading and running of Visualize.m2.
The easiest way to download the needed files is to clone the entire repository. You will need to install Git for this.
git clone https://github.com/b-stone/Visualize-M2.git
cd Visualize-M2
You only need the Visualize.m2 file and the folders js and templates.
First make sure that the file Visualize.m2 is on the load path. To run, execute the following. (This is assuming that visualize.m2 is on the path ./ )
loadPackage "Visualize"
R = QQ[x,y,z]
I = ideal"x4,xy,yz,xz,z3,y3"
visIdeal( I, Path => "./temp-files/" )
At this point your browser should open and you should have an interactive image of the lower boundary of the ideals exponent set (as can bee seen here). As is, the html file that is created is saved in the ./Visualize-M2/temp-files/ directory. If you wish to create the file elsewhere, change the path, but make sure the JavaScript files are moved to your target directory.
For visualization of graphs, use the following command. (An example is found [here])(http://math.bard.edu/~bstone/visgraph/))
loadPackage"Graphs"
G = graph({{x_0,x_1},{x_0,x_3},{x_0,x_4},{x_1,x_3},{x_2,x_3}},Singletons => {x_5})
visGraph( G, Path => "./temp-files/" )
