Wolfram Research says it no longer supports JavaGraphics in Mathmatica 10. This is very bad for people who prefer the Kernel to the FrontEnd.

However, I am still able to get it to work.

Show failed. However, this works:

show[x__] := Show[x, DisplayFunction->$DisplayFunction ]

Also, ErrorListPlot fails, but this works:

Needs["ErrorBarPlots`"]
errorListPlot[x__] := show [ ErrorListPlot[x] ]

I put these definitions in my init.m file.

Sorry this isn't a question ... more of a tip.

  • Welcome to Mathematica.SE! I suggest that: 1) You take the introductory Tour now! 2) When you see good questions and answers, vote them up by clicking the gray triangles, because the credibility of the system is based on the reputation gained by users sharing their knowledge. Also, please remember to accept the answer, if any, that solves your problem, by clicking the checkmark sign! 3) As you receive help, try to give it too, by answering questions in your area of expertise. – bbgodfrey Feb 18 '15 at 15:19
  • You could, instead, pose a question and then answer it, if you wish. – bbgodfrey Feb 18 '15 at 15:20
  • JavaGraphics works fine for me in version 10, including Show. 2. Why do you believe the command line to be superior to the notebook interface? Unless you are using a slow Raspberry Pi, I don't see what you would gain, but you certainly do lose a lot.

  • Can you give more information about your setup so we can figure out why JavaGraphics doesn't work for you? What is your OS, what precise version of Mathematica are you using? How did you try to show the graphics precisely? I have Mathematica 10.0.2 on OS X and in a fresh kernel I did Needs["JavaGraphics`"]; Show@Graphics[Circle[]]. This shows a window with a circle. – Szabolcs Feb 18 '15 at 17:22
