Inserting a component

There are five ways to insert a component onto the Canvas:

  1. Click on the desired Icon on the Icon Palette, drag the block onto the Canvas and click the mouse where you want to insert it 605% WIDTH=827 HEIGHT=32

  2. Choose Insert from the menu and select the desired block there

  3. Right-click on an existing block and choose copy. Then place the copy where you want it on the palette. 474% WIDTH=191 HEIGHT=131

  4. Variables can be inserted by typing the variable name on the canvas, and constants can be entered simply by typing the number on the canvas. Similarly, operations can be inserted by typing the operator name (eg sin, or *). Notes can be inserted by starting the note with a # character.
  5. Variables can also be picked from the Variable Browser and placed on the canvas.
