Re: [SMW-devel] property defined by function

Hi, 1) and what if I let "gnuplot" do the job? wouldn't it be easier to implement? and the performance should be better, right? Is there a similar extension that I can take as example? One that takes several parameters, delegates it to a command line program and then takes results back and incorpo

Hi, I would also look into the ArrayExtension (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ArrayExtension) If you have something like [[HeightLength::1;4]] [[HeightLength::2;5]] you can extract and assign a HeightArray and a LengthArray by queries (see examples on extension page). Unfortunately th

Hi, I've just added an enhancement request: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22303 Do you think it is interesting enough so that SMW developers will implement it? If yes, how long might it take? If no, could you please tell me, whether it is hard to implement such extension and whic
