Tidy up the function list in the Function Editor
We need to tidy up the function list in the Function Editor which is quite difficult to navigate. I'll offer a preliminary roadmap and ideas for your consideration.
Two key ideas:
- Create a short list of logical categories of functions.
- List the categories in alphabetical order.
Recommended main categories for the currently implemented functions:
- Recent (e.g. the 10 most recent functions)
- Comparison (greaterThan, lessThan etc.)
- Logical (if, or, not, and, false etc.)
- Mathematical (standard)
- Mathematical (special)
- Normalization (Divide by Sum, Divide by Minimum etc.)
- Probability distributions
- Random-number
- Relational (e.g. cell, 'map' function #270 etc.)
- Statistical (moving)
- Statistical (aggregate) instead of Statistical (columns)
- Trigonometric
In the future:
- String (e.g. concatenate, trim, clean, text - converts a number to text)
Suggested small changes:
- start with the capital letters and move "Pseudo-random integer", "Nonlinear additive feedback" from Standard Mathematical Functions into the Random Number Generators category
- move all Probability Distributions entries into the Probability Distributions category,
- move all Bessel etc. function to the Special category
- rename "auto update" to "Auto Update".
