Hi,

the package file *.m is a text file.

Open it with a text editor and look for

BeginPackage...

You find

BeginPackage["Graphics`ImplicitPlot3D`","Utilities`FilterOptions`"]

therefore you know you have to copy it to the

G:\Programme\Wolfram
Research\Mathematica\5.0\AddOns\StandardPackages\Graphics

directory.

Needs["Graphics`ImplicitPlot3D`"]

works fine.

Regards

Peter

Betreff: [mg45681] Loading a Package



Am using Mathematica 5.0 and can't load a v2.0 package
(ImplicitPlot3D.m) downloaded from MathSource ("3D Plots of Implicitly
Defined Surfaces").

Since the package says its context is Graphics`ImplicitPlot3D`, I've
copied it to the Graphics folder in AddOns/Autoload.  Unfortunately,
when I use the ImplicitPlot3D command, nothing happens.  Clearly, I
don't know how to load packages correctly but don't know what's wrong.

Is it because it's a v2.0 package?  Must I copy the package to the
Graphics folder in Standard Packages (and then use
Needs["Graphics`ImplicitPlot3D`"])?  Is a change needed to some init.m
file?  Or something else?

Thanks.

Bruce
