Description
List of Commands in the Canvas Package
Compatibility
A "canvas" is both (1) a document template where math can be inserted and acted upon by button clicks within Maple, and (2) the document environment used by Maple Learn.
The NewCanvas and ShowCanvas commands can be used to construct and display math and text content organized in a grid layout. When a ScriptButton is present, additional controls and blank entry boxes are available for user input. Using Script actions the math and text can be modified and/or annotated.
In scenario (1), the canvas is viewed and interacted with directly inside a Maple document. In scenario (2), the ShareCanvas command is used to send the canvas to Maple Learn, where it can be viewed and interacted with inside a web browser.
