LaTeX-Alpha is down until the Wolfram Cloud becomes publicly available! Please check back soon!

LaTeX-Alpha is a LaTeX package which incorporates the typesetting ease and control of LaTeX with the power of the Wolfram Language. The goal of LaTeX-Alpha is to provide the most complete, powerful and self-sufficient typesetting environment.

Please see LaTeX-Alpha-Demo.pdf for fuller documentation

Use Instructions

1. Download latexalpha.sty and put it in the same directory as your .tex document.
2. Add \usepackage{latexalpha} to your preamble.
3. Compile your document using pdflatex --shell-escape your-document.tex (this step requires that curl is installed, wget compatibility coming soon)
4. Enjoy cool documents!

LaTeX-Alpha is a work in progress! For now it will only be available for a few months. Please email me with bugs/suggestions/comments!

Commands

\calc{}

This command evaluates a mathematical expression, taking Wolfram Language syntax. For example

\calc{Exp[I*Pi]}

will compile to

\graphic{}

This command generates a graphic. For example,

\graphic{Plot[Sin[x],{x,0,2 Pi}]}{sin}

will generate the following graph and make it available to your LaTeX document in the image file sin.png.

\begin{figure} 
\centering
\includegraphics[width=0.8\textwidth]{sin.png}
\caption{Plot of sin(x) generated with the Wolfram API}
\end{figure}

\WolframAlpha{} and \WolframAlphaMath{}

Take in a Wolfram Alpha query. For example

$\WolframAlpha{ what is the biggest city in china }$

will compile to Shanghai.

\dataplotTXT{}

\dataplotTXT{} allows for data which is stored in the same directory as a .tex file to be graphed in the compiled document.
