An Essential in Completing Computational Programming

AnCAD proudly announces the release of MATFOR 4, which is expected to possess more powerful manipulation tools and a vastly improved user interface. Developed based on MATFOR 3, version 4 strengthens its fundamental capabilities and adds innovative functionalities. The enhanced and extended features include MATFOR GUI System, diverse data file formats, additional numerical and visual routines, sparse array and the enhanced Graphics Viewer. From massive data sets to lifelike movie presentations with customized interface, MATFOR 4 acts as an all-in-one toolkit that simplifies workflow, further brings developers to the next level of expressiveness. In the market flooded with supplementary tools for scientific simulations, MATFOR 4 is a must-have for completing computational programming.
