EngineCallBacks.callBackCallBack
user-defined call back function
Calling Sequence
Parameters
Description
Examples
String callBackCallBack( Object data, String args ) throws MapleException
data
-
arbitrary data that was passed into the Engine constructor
args
arguments given to callback
callBackCallBack is a member function of the com.maplesoft.openmaple.EngineCallBacks interface. When the Maple function callback is called, this call back is invoked. This call back can be used by a Java OpenMaple programmer for any purpose. It has no predefined meaning.
The args parameter is the line printed argument list from the call to callback.
callBackCallBack must return a syntactically valid Maple command string, or NULL. A NULL return indicates no output is generated by the function.

Executing this code produces the following output.
callback: 1, 2, 3, 4
[1, 2, 3, 4]
