Special constants

Image FundamentalConstants% WIDTH=833 HEIGHT=132

Some special constants ( $$e=2.72\ldots$% WIDTH=159 HEIGHT=24$ , $$\pi=3.14\ldots$% WIDTH=164 HEIGHT=24$ , 0, 1, $$\infty$% WIDTH=31 HEIGHT=16$ ) can be placed on the canvas, via two methods:

By clicking on the relevant icon on the Fundamental Constants (``constop'') toolbar; or
By typing the constant name on the canvas, and pressing Enter (or clicking OK) in the variable definition window. These names are: Euler for $$e=2.72\ldots$% WIDTH=159 HEIGHT=24$ ; pi for $$\pi=3.14\ldots$% WIDTH=164 HEIGHT=24$ ; inf for $$\infty$% WIDTH=31 HEIGHT=16$ ; and the percent symbol for the percent operator (which multiplies the input by 100).
