Curve Fitting
Curve fitting is a critical and commonly used system for the analysis and modelling of various data points. Data points can represent near endless different types of information that can be used for both interpolation and extrapolation. Curve fitting is heavily used in engineering applications and essential for all engineers.
MatDeck provides both curve fitting forms and curve fitting functions in MD Engineering Designer. They allow engineers to accomplish all types of curve fitting without the need of training or experience
Curve Fitting Forms
Curve fitting forms, similar to configuration forms, can be used to initiate and set up curve fitting applications via a custom GUI.
Curve fitting configuration forms are initiated through the use of custom curve fitting functions that can be deployed in both standard MD Documents as well as programming documents. These functions can be stored in variables for later use.
The Results variable stores the curve retrieved by the functions curvefitresult.
MD Engineering Designer incorporates all features and functions to be used and deployed together in the same document. As the document architecture allows any type of feature/function to be used together, users can output created curves in the same document as the form and/or coding.
Here are some more examples of curve fitting in use:
Audio GUI
Below are examples of Audio GUIs used for Audio Generation, Audio Signal Analysis and Audi Equalisers. All of them can be mixed with MD functions, other GUIS, mathematical functions, Python, MD C++ style script and various other functions in the same MD Document.

Databases
The widely used SQLite comes already embedded in Engineering Designer. In order to use MySQL and Postgres databases, you will need to install them independently. Our Database Browser is available to provide an interactive surface for editing and viewing databases as well as executing database queries. You can connect to databases with Python, C, MD C++ Script, numerus DB queries and dedicated MD Database functions.
MD Python’s interactive learning environment
While being able to integrate Python with a range of other features, our IDEs also focus on providing a comfortable and user-friendly interface. This is especially beneficial for beginners and those learning Python by easing the transition to Python.
By being committed to an ergonomic and easy to use interface both beginner and experienced programmers can enjoy shorter coding times and stress-free programming.
These added features make learning and using Python much easier and simpler. Students or beginners who are not yet accustomed to Python will prefer MD Python’s interface and professionals and veteran coders will also enjoy the added features:
Auto fill generator – will predict and make suggestion for the user. This includes variables and functions the user declares in their code.
Math Tab – Under the programming group, users can access a library of definitions and arguments listed for all base functions
Zoom in sidebar – Allows users to view areas of code further down or above the current field of view of the code. Makes checking and copying syntax and variables much easier
Collapse brackets – minimises code placed within function brackets. Produces a compacter and easier to follow code
Find usages – produces an extensive list of all mentions of the word, variable or functions that is selected. Extremely useful for finding and changing Python objects as well as finding errors.
Other applications
Below are Engineering Designer examples. The first examples show bullet points, text headings, equalizers which process data in real time and chemical balancing reactions below. For Chemists and Physicist, Engineering Designer has many necessary time saving tools.
This example shows an impressive nuclear fission reaction graphically and its accompanying atomic balancing equation with subscripts and superscripts. These are all essential tools for Physicists. Live atomic formulas, text documents, headers, bullet points and text boxes are available to help you present your work. On top of this, you can add Mathematics and Physics formulas as well as programming, diagrams, tables, etc.
For electronic engineers, various diagrams, tables, circuit drawings/analysis can be created. Documents are “live” documents. This means that formulas and equations can be in the form of text or as “live” formulas which process data automatically while the document is being edited.
Mathematics, code, live EXE processing and text editing
Our EXE files for both MD and Python scripts allows projects to be compiled dramatically faster and documents can be operated at similar speeds compared to other dedicated programming languages. You can create an independent EXE – executive file (including DLLs)for your applications.
MD documents are “live” documents meaning they process code, mathematical formulas and GUIs automatically while being edited. It can be used for presentations or documentations of your applications as well as an industry standard IDE for programming.
MD documents have mathematical functions that can be called and edited in real time as well as symbolic mathematics. The output produced using these functions can be manipulated at any point with the narrative text editing function that is included and mixed with the code. MD documents can combine the most complex math with code in a few lines. They can also possess text editing with bullet points, headers, footers, flowcharts and tables as well as a variety of GUIs.
Engineering Designer – MD and Python GUI Designers
Engineering Designer comes equipped with the complete MatDeck GUI Designer. The GUI Designer is an interactive graphical work environment which allows users to create custom GUI applications. It does this for Tkinter, Kivy, PySide2 and MD Python.
As this is the Designer version, it is equipped with the complete set of features and functions. This includes 19 individual GUI objects/elements and an uncapped limit of objects/elements that can be place on the work area.
Each GUI element/object contains a high level of customisation and personalisation as our GUI applications are incredibly bespoke and unique
Once a user has completed their design, they can generate their entire application in the form of programming code. Depending on the type of code file used, the generated code will be outputted in Python or MatDeck script (Similar to C++). This can be packaged as an .EXE file to be shared amongst other PCs.
Engineering Designer’s unique framework
Engineering Designer uses MatDeck’s unique user interface to allow users to mix functions and features from different academics together in the same file. Above is an example that uses MD Mathematics with Python code to produce crisp and clear graphs without having to use any unnecessary lines of code.
Variables and functions are examples of objects that can be transferred to and from Python code and MatDeck. Variables are automatically exchanged between MD’s mathematical editor and the code editor as they can both mix. Objects that are transferred can be manipulated and processed further. In short, there is no need for extra code when performing complex maths with Python as MatDeck provides.
