Howdy, Last week I began looking at the documentation at the LibreOffice wiki as it pertained to the Calc solver engines supported, and supplied by the office suit. What I found was that the most prominent reference was to a page back on the AOO wiki ttps://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/NLPSolver
I thought it worth while to create a proper content page over on the LibreOffice wiki, two main content reasons; 1st - the AOO is specific to the NLP extension from Sun and wanted to expand it with information on the five different engines available in a LO vanilla install (w/java) of which the NLP engines are only two; 2nd - there is a link to the SDK API documentation for the Solver service information which needs to point to the proper SDK. I decided to use the content from the AOO page as a jumping off point and to change and expand it. A draft (nearly done) of that work is available for review here: https://nextcloud.documentfoundation.org/s/ebisHjZo2rowM4Q Two reasons for this email. Today in our documentation team meeting I was asked how you folks here felt about me using the AOO content as the jump off text. I said I was sure you wouldn't mind and that I would ask to be sure. So - this email. (note I've kept the license information from the AOO page in the new draft document with regards to the two NLP extension solvers - with a minor change to the text, so please check that out) Second - in the draft you will see that I've included a reference to an MIT tutorial on solvers and supply a Calc file with a simple script which executes the solver model from that tutorial. The example Calc file with the script should work just fine with AOO and if you folks are interested I would be happy to share this for use on the AOO wiki page, or anything else in that draft change. That is the long and short of it - questions/comments welcome and let me know if you would like to use any of the content on the wiki here.
