Customize the toolbars
As you work in Maple, you will probably find yourself using some
commands more often than others. By customizing the toolbars and
changing the buttons, you can access the commands more quickly. You
can customize menus and toolbars yourself; you can add and remove
buttons and menus on toolbars, create your own custom toolbars,
hide or display toolbars, and move toolbars. You can customize the
menu bar the same way you customize any built-in toolbar - for
example, you can quickly add and remove buttons and menus on the
menu bar.
To customize the toolbars, use the Customize Toolbars dialog box.
There are two ways to open the dialog box:
-
Right-click a toolbar and choose Customize from the
context menu.
-
In the Preferences dialog box, select Visuals
tab and then click the Customize button in the
Toolbars section.
Use the customization dialog to add and remove buttons and menu
items for faster access to frequently used commands..
Tip: to return the
toolbars to the original setting, click the Reset
button.
Displaying only the commands and buttons that you use
Maple automatically customizes menus and toolbars based on how
often you use the commands. As you work, the menus and toolbars
adjust so that only the commands and toolbar buttons you use most
often appear.
Displaying all the commands on a menu
To look for a command that you don't use often or have never used
before, click the arrows at the bottom of the menu to show all the
commands. You can also double-click the menu to expand it. When you
expand one menu, all of the menus are expanded until you choose a
command or perform another action. When you click a command on the
expanded menu, the command is immediately added to the short
version of the menu. If you do not use the command often, it is
dropped from the short version of the menu.
Seeing all of the toolbar buttons
You can resize to display more buttons, or you can show all buttons
on a toolbar. To see a list of buttons that won't fit on a
built-in, docked toolbar, click Toolbar Options at
the end of the toolbar. When you use a button that is not displayed
on the toolbar, that button is moved to the toolbar, and a button
that has not been used recently is dropped to the Toolbar
Options list.
