You can configure Converge for use with other math programs as follows. From the main menu of Converge, select Options, select Options again. Click on the Other Math Programs tab to view:

Then click on the math program you want to use with Converge.

Here is an example. Suppose

You may transfer multiple (or other) functions of X you select from the current graphing environment of Converge by selecting Files, then selecting Export to Mathcad.

Finally, click on OK and in Mathcad you see:

(If the function was not enclosed in parentheses, the Mathcad expression would only involve the derivative of the first term of the function.)

All functions of X, including "If functions" and "conditional functions" can be transferred from Mathcad to Converge.

To transfer functions from Mathcad to Converge, click . (You can accomplish the exact same thing by selecting Import from Mathcad from the File menu.) When you click , Converge will import the following functions in the currently displayed Mathcad document:

For example, if

is a math box in Mathcad, the function in the box transfer to Converge.

For example, if is a math box in your Mathcad document, the function will transfer to Converge.

For example, if

For example, if

To transfer the current function of X in the graphing environment of Converge (the last function of X graphed or otherwise used by Converge), click . This transfer works for all functions of X, including rational functions and piecewise-defined functions.

Here is an example. Suppose

You may transfer multiple (or other) functions of X you select from the current graphing environment of Converge, by selecting Files, then selecting Export to Scientific NoteBook.

To transfer a function from Scientific NoteBook to Converge, highlight the function in Scientific NoteBook and click . If you want to transfer from 1 to 8 Scientific NoteBook functions to Converge and you can highlight all of these functions (and nothing else), then when you click , all of these functions will be transferred to Converge.

You can also transfer functions from Scientific NoteBook to Converge by selecting Import from Mathcad from the File menu. This menu selection works the same way as the button.

This feature is independent of the math program you configure for use with Converge. You can use this feature to:

When you select Export to DPGraph, you see the window:

To rotate the graph, use the arrow keys.
To zoom, use the Page Up and Page Down keys.

Select Special 3 Dimensional Graphs from the Calculus menu. Select Partial Derivative with respect to Y and click Get equation(s) from a file. Enter Poly1a.z for the file name and click Open. Next click Express and then click OK. Now right-click on the Graph window and select Export to DPGraph. Then click Export.

Now consider the following check boxes and radio buttons in the Export to DPGraph box:

Turn on different check boxes and combinations of check boxes and also different settings for the radio buttons. Click Export as you wish to see how these combinations affect the graph. If the DPGraph graph is continuously rotating when you click Close, the rotating will stop. However, all you have to do to restart the rotating is to click (if necessary) to give DPGraph the focus and then press an arrow key.

When you select Export to DPGraph, the current Converge defaults for the functions of the type Z = F(X,Y) are displayed in the Export Equations to DPGraph box. So if you have just graphed such a function in Converge and you select Export to DPGraph, you need only click the Export button to transfer the graph to DPGraph.

Another way to import a Converge function to the Export Equations to DPGraph box is to click on

(This causes Use DPGraph format in the equation box… to automatically turn off.)

You should edit any equations using Converge format. (Converge will check to see if the equations are in proper Converge format and have proper Converge syntax before they are exported to DPGraph.)

If you do not turn Modify equation(s), MinZ, … on and MaxZ - MinZ is much greater than MaxX – MinX or MaxY - MinY, the DPGraph box will be elongated and the resulting graph in DPGraph will not be good. This is because DPGraph scales the axes so that 1 unit is the same screen distance on all axes, while Converge adjusts the z-axis scaling so that the graphs of all functions of two variables will be drawn in what appears to be a cube on the screen.

If you transfer multiple Converge functions to DPGraph, these functions will be graphed on the same axes in DPGraph.

(This causes Modify equation(s), MinZ, MaxZ to get Converge proportions… to automatically turn off.)

You should also edit the first equation using DPGraph format. Only the first equation, a graph3d equation statement, will be exported to DPGraph. For example, the top of the Export Equations to DPGraph box should look something like:

After you edit the equation, Converge will not check the formatting or syntax of the equation. (DPGraph will do this after it receives the equation.)

When you open an ASCII DPGraph (.dpg) file that contains statements that cannot be translated into Converge’s Export Equations to DPGraph dialog box, these lines will be displayed. For example, you will see a box similar to the following.

When you see such a box, you should generally click Yes.

If you click No, then when you export the graphing environment back to DPGraph, these lines will not be included in the export.

If you click Yes, these lines will be included both types of exports. Also, these lines will be given precedence during the transfer. For example, you click Yes in the box displayed above, then when you export to DPGraph, the graph3d.color statement in the above box will be transferred and the contents of the Color box in the Export Equations to DPGraph will be ignored.

You can also make up and type in your own equations to transfer to DPGraph. You just have to decide whether to turn on Use DPGraph format in the equation box… .

If this box is turned on, you will be restricted to exporting just the first equation box and you will have to enter a graph3d equation statement in this box.

If this box is turned off, you can export from 1 to 3 equations that you enter in Converge format, and before you export you should consider whether need to turn on Modify equation(s), MinZ, MaxZ to get Converge proportions… to get a good graph.

To configure Converge for use with a word processor, select Options from the Options menu and click on the Word Processors tab. You then see the following.

Then click on the word processor you want to configure with Converge. If you click on a version of Word, many special prompts for Word will appear at the bottom of the window. (These special prompts appear in the above graphic.)

After you configure Converge to work with a word processor, Converge graphics, tables of values, and matrices can generally be transferred to the word processor with just one click.
