How can I deploy only the output in Player Pro

Question

I want to know how can I see only the output when I deploy the Mathematica notebook in Player Pro as in CDF Player?

I have gone through this screencast on How to Encrypt Your Code for Deployment, but I haven't understood it properly.

Answer 1

To prevent your code from appearing in the CDF file, simply double-click on the innermost cell bracket of your output cell. This collapses the input cell. Then select File...Deploy...Standalone...[save entire file)]. The resultant CDF file will neither show the input code nor allow it to be seen at all (since the cell bracket will not be available).

Answer 2

If your question is really "How do I remove the input?", then you can evaluate

NotebookPut[DeleteCases[NotebookGet[], Cell[_, "Input", ___], Infinity]]

to create a fresh copy of a notebook with no Input cells in it. Then save as CDF.

Answer 3

In addition to the methods already suggested by others:

If you would like to have a CDF that consists of a single Manipulate you can simply copy the Manipulate box itself (i.e., the output of the Manipulate) to an empty notebook and save that as a CDF. If initialization with external variables is required use the Manipulate option SaveDefinitions->True and/or wrap your Manipulate in a DynamicModule.

Answer 4

Consider two versions of CDF:

Deployed

• Save as -> cdf (not deployed): you can see literally the source code via hitting shift+ctrl+E (hard to comprehend though ).

Deploy a cdf without showing source code:

• click the output in your notebook.

• choose File -> Deploy -> Standalone -> current selection

• export this cdf to the selected location

You can also, copy the out put and simply paste it into a new CDF document.

You can typically make what you want to do with input work by hardcoding possible selections rather than free input. Make a List[] of options that some selection mechanism will access. Your selection of input just becomes another dynamic element. This should achieve what you want.

Note: you can also access any of Wolfram's computable data within a CDF.

Best if you can post an example of what you have tried. Then responders can give you more specific solutions.
