Feedback appreciated.
Not sure how to handle errors. Also not sure how to make it clear what the various input fields are doing.
But it sort of/kind of works :)

The latest version:
- imports all of the math libraries
- loads custom slide upon creation
- displays errors when formulae are not properly specified
- should also fix #2311 problem
comment:5 Changed 13 years ago by walter
Lots of small fixes and enhancements:
- button for creating custom slide is now gear button
- fixed scaling problem that was causing mix of log and log10
- more Exception catching

FWIW, I've modified the custom generator so that you can assign strings as labels, e.g.,
hex(int(x)) or bin(int(x))

Should there be two customs slides: slide different from stator? Or is that going too far?

Maybe I am going over the top here but that would be interesting when combined with hexidecimal, octal and other base arithmetic. You could then make a log16 sliderule with hex notation that would be usable in the same way as a log10 rule wrt underflow/overflow and which a Ln one cannot.
Also poses interesting thought experiments like can you make a binary sliderule?
