About WXP files
The .WXP file extension is primarily used for mathematical worksheets created in wxMaxima, a document-based graphical interface for the Maxima computer algebra system. Alternatively, it serves as a scientific word processing document for Scientific WorkPlace. These files store complex algebraic equations, plotting commands, and formatted text. The main disadvantage of a .WXP file is its proprietary nature. A wxMaxima .WXP file is essentially a specialized text file, but it requires the underlying Maxima mathematical engine to execute the calculations and render the plots. Similarly, Scientific WorkPlace relies on strict LaTeX dependencies. Because these are highly specialized formats, it is notoriously difficult to open or convert them outside of their native environments. Standard online converters fail to process .WXP files because they lack a built-in computer algebra system or LaTeX rendering engine. Often, only the original software can properly read, execute, or export the data. If you need to share these files with someone who does not have the software, you must convert them to standard .PDF or .HTML formats. While you will lose the ability to edit or recalculate the formulas, the visual layout remains intact. For unknown or unsupported files, use convert.guru. Just drag and drop your file to identify the exact format, inspect the internal code, and extract the raw text. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Use Convert.Guru to open and convert your WXP file.
If you want to convert WXP file to MP4, AVI, MOV, WMV, FLV, WEBM, MKV, M4V, 3GP, OGV, ASF or RM, you can use wxMaxima or similar software from the "Computer Algebra System Worksheet" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert MTS, MOV, RMVB, DIVX, RM, H264, TS, WMV, VOB, MP4, XVID or AVI files to WXP, try wxMaxima or another comparable tool in the "Computer Algebra System Worksheet" category.
The WXP Converter Story
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our WXP converter.
