Console and Library Functions

A large number of routines are available for both Console and Library users of the FICO Xpress Optimizer, ranging from simple routines for the input and solution of problems from matrix files to sophisticated callback functions and greater control over the solution process. Of these, the core functionality is available to both sets of users and comprises the 'Console Mode'. Library users additionally have access to a set of more 'advanced' functions, which extend the functionality provided by the Console Mode, providing more control over their program's interaction with the Optimizer and catering for more complicated problem development.
