Figure 1.7: Context Menu
To display the context menu for an expression:
• Right-click (Control-click, for Macintosh) the expression.
The context menu is displayed beside the mouse pointer.
You can evaluate expressions using context menus.
• The Evaluate and Display Inline operation (see Figure 1.7) is equivalent
to pressing Ctrl+= (Command+=, for Macintosh). That is, it inserts an
equal sign (=) and then the value of the expression.
• The Evaluate operation (see Figure 1.7) is equivalent to pressing Enter.
That is, it evaluates the expression and displays the result centered on
the following line.
For more information on evaluation, see Evaluating Expressions (page 8).
From the context menu, you can also select operations different from evalu-
ation. To the right of the expression, Maple inserts a right arrow symbol (→)
and then the result.
