Toolbox menus

The Toolbox menus (D) are a collection of menus offering functions and commands useful in mathematics and programming. The Math, CAS, and Catlg menus offer over 400 functions and commands. The items on these menus are described in detail in chapter 21, “Functions and commands”, starting on page 307.

Input forms

An input form is a screen that provides one or more fields for you to enter data or select an option. It is another name for a dialog box.

If a field allows you to enter data of your choice, you

can select it, add your data, and tap . (There

is no need to tap first.)

If a field allows you to choose an item from a menu, you can tap on it (the field or the label for the field), tap on it again to display the options, and tap on the item you want. (You can also choose an item from an open list by pressing the cursor keys and pressing Ewhen the option you want is highlighted.)

If a field is a toggle field—one that is either selected or not selected—tap on it to select the field and tap on it again to select the alternate option.

(Alternatively, select the field and tap .)

The illustration at the right shows an input form with all three types of field:

Calculator Name is a free-formdata-entry field, Font Size provides a menu of options, and Textbook Display is a toggle field.
