 Context-Sensitive Menus
In Maple, context-sensitive menus allow you to perform mathematical
operations by simply clicking the object and selecting the desired operation
from the menu of choices provided.
- Menus change according to the context, so only relevant choices
are displayed. For example, “Determinant” appears in the
menu for a matrix, while “Solve DE” appears for a differential
equation.
- Expressions are further analyzed to detect the variables present.
These variables are added to the menus when appropriate. For example,
you can specify which variable to solve for.
- When you apply context-sensitive
menu operations, a brief description is displayed above the arrows
and equal signs leading to the results. These descriptions provide
an automatically generated record of your actions.
- Automatically generated
text can be deleted or modified.
- In addition to mathematical operations,
context-sensitive menus make it easy to modify plot options, customize
embedded components, adjust table properties, and perform other actions
in Maple.
