Batch Processor with Mathematica

It's not the ideal solution, but it is free*, multi-platform, and open source.

* Requires at least Mathematica Player Pro 7. Unfortunately the free Wolfram CDF Player states:

http://reference.wolfram.com/mathemat...ments.html
"Ordinary Mathematica notebooks can be read by non-Mathematica users using the free product, Wolfram CDF Player, which allows viewing and printing, but does not allow computations of any kind to be performed."

How odd that the Computable Document Format (CDF) does not allow computations of any kind to be performed.

Whether or not the "enterprise CDF" will run this nb file or not, I can't say, and I don't know what the price is:

So, if you can find a free copy of Player Pro 7 or more, by all means enjoy the following. Otherwise feel free to use the source to develop a better program.

In case a, you will see the following:

I'm anticipating rewriting this to include entries for multiple values that can be animated, but at this point it's a quick and dirty 1 variable animator / batch processor.

Hacking strings was a bundle of fun for the last couple of days, now back to creativity. Cheers.

Oh you.

Updated version with bug fix for number type, and end of file issue.

One major caveat here I found tonight, is that it only works correctly on the 1st preset in some rare cases. Somehow the default preset controls are sorted correctly, but the other preset controls are not (FF problem, not mine).

So...

IF PROBLEM, THEN MOVE THE PRESET YOU WANT TO RENDER TO THE FIRST POSITION. ALWAYS SELECT PRESET 0
