The Maplets package contains commands for creating and displaying Maplet applications (point-and-click interfaces).

To create and display Maplet applications in a point-and-click environment, use the Maplet Builder.  The Maplet Builder is available only in the Standard Worksheet interface.  For more details, see Overview of the Maplet Builder.

The following sections describe the subpackages and commands in the Maplets package.

To create a Maplet application using the Maplets package, you must write a Maplet definition, which specifies the structure and behavior of the Maplet, using the commands in the Elements, Tools, and Utilities subpackages.

The Elements subpackage contains individual components used to create a Maplet application, for example, windows, buttons, and check boxes, including options that specify their position and appearance.

The Tools and Utilities subpackages contains additional commands used to author advanced Maplets.

To begin learning how to write Maplets, see Roadmap to Creating Maplet Applications.

To process a Maplet definition and display the resulting Maplet application, use the Display command.

$\mathrm{with}\left(\mathrm{Maplets}:-\mathrm{Elements}\right)\:$

$\mathrm{SimpleMaplet}≔\mathrm{Maplet}\left(\left[\mathrm{Button}\left(''Close''\,\mathrm{Shutdown}\left(\right)\right)\right]\right)\:$

$\mathrm{Maplets}:-\mathrm{Display}\left(\mathrm{SimpleMaplet}\right)\:$

The Examples subpackage contains commands that launch interfaces to several Maple commands.

Note: You do not need to use the Display command to launch these Maplets.
