Install Background Code - Add a Questions for Background Code
The following steps should be performed if the IMathAS code is not public available in your IMathAS installation or if you want to use this background code for testing or translation into an other language. The definitions in the background code can be translated in English, German, Spanish, etc. and stored as separate questions for inclusion of IMathAS code.
- Create a 3 new question in IMathAS: If you want to install the Randomizer and Remapper too, create a thrird question for the Remapper/Randomizer too. See IMathAS help pages for supporting you in using of iMathAS.
- Copy the provided background code1 in the "Commen Control" text area of IMathAS (see Download-Area) and the copy the file background1_qtext.txt into the Question-Text area. Press [SAVE]
- Copy the provide background code2 in the second question into the Common Control text area and save the question. You need not Question-Text definition for this question, because only the Common Control content will be imported, Press [SAVE].
- Set the user rights to "Allow Use by All and Modification by Group" otherwise other authors have to add the background code for the e-proof environment as well and, consequently, the maintenance of the background code would become more difficult.
BACKGROUND CODE 2: e.g. Question-ID 4002 used by all e-proofs includecodefrom(4002)
- BC1 - Common Control: iMathAS-Code imported by e-Proof
- BC1 - Question Text; Leave Empty - Unused
Remark: In the image above you see that the user rights are set to "Private". With this setting no other author of an e-proof can use the background code for the e-proof environment. Therefore, this setting has to be changed.
