Building and Distributing Applications with O-Matrix
O-Matrix excels as a platform for developing
specialized, domain-specific, and turnkey solutions for
engineering, science, and technical computing problems.
The O-Matrix language enables you to
rapidly implement solutions to more quickly meet
customer needs and provides a maintainable code base
that that can more easily be modified to address changing
user requirements. The O-Matrix execution
environment provides performance that often exceeds
compiled language speed for turnkey systems and obviates
the need for writing in languages such as C/C++ and FORTRAN.
"O-Matrix is a powerful programming tool yet it is reasonably
priced and so easy to use. If you know the Basic programming language learning
O-Matrix is a breeze. I was writing O-Matrix programs the
same day I installed it."
- Edward Lee, Bell Helicopter Corporation
Creating Graphical User Interfaces
O-Matrix includes functions for creating custom graphical user interfaces.
Design dialogs with buttons, popups, checkboxes, tables, bitmap displays, grid tables,
and other common Windows controls. Interfaces can be developed in O-Matrix
in a fraction of the time of compiled languages, and provide much better performance than
typical interpreted solutions.

Extending O-Matrix with Compiled Code Functions
O-Matrix functionality can be extended with Windows DLL functions.
Functions provided in DLLs behave like other O-Matrix functions
and appear to the end user as part of the O-Matrix environment.
O-Matrix DLLs can be created in any language and compiler that
can create Windows compliant DLLs. No additional, or special libraries
or translation tools are necessary.
Using O-Matrix as a COM/Automation Client
O-Matrix can be used as an OLE/COM Automation scripting language.
The automation client functions can pass
data to and from Automation servers, call server methods, get and set
server properties, and start and stop any Automation server that
is registered on your system. Any application that exposes its functionality
as a COM server can be leveraged with O-Matrix automation.
Accessing O-Matrix as a COM Server
O-Matrix can also be accessed as a COM server. Any application
that provides automation scripting, (e.g. Visual Basic, VBA, or C++), can
use the O-Matrix COM server. The COM server provides
an ideal framework for using O-Matrix as a computational
engine, or back-end for other applications.
Distributing Applications and Turnkey Solutions
Harmonic Software provides numerous tools and licensing options
to easily and affordably distribute solutions built with the
O-Matrix platform.
Developers can use
The O-Matrix Development Kit
to create stand-alone solutions that can be distributed
royalty-free and provide a custom application look and feel.
O-Matrix applications utilizing numerous script files and
functions can be compiled into a single binary file to simplify distribution,
provide enhanced performance for end users, and protect proprietary
source code.
