element(Real1..Real2) - compaqdrew - 03-27-2021 12:12 AM
In the calculator help and also the manual, it mentions a “real value” syntax for the element (“Point on”) function.
In particular
> element(0..5) creates a slider bar with a value of 2.5 initially.
Try as I might, after entering this example into geometry symbolic view I can’t get the bar to appear anywhere (plot view, I guess?). This is unlike the element(Object, Real) syntax, which works just fine.
Any thoughts on what I’m missing?

If you want your slider to be labeled GC (for example) copy this:
Instruction():=Instruction()+"GC:= element(0.,1.,0.5); // c(FF000000) v(1) a(t(1) s(3) p(1) b(0) e(1) S(0.1)) "
into the CAS command line and press enter.
Or you can do it from the plot view with Cmds/Plot/Slider (CMDS/6/9).
Or you can type this:
element(0,1,0.5)
into the symbolic view.
I don't think element(0..5) works even though the help says it does.
