Replaceable Content
Maple 2016 improves on the programmatic content generation tools introduced in Maple 2015. DocumentTools:-InsertContent allows the insertion into a worksheet a block of worksheet content, called a task. With a new option, you can programatically replace a task with new content:
replaceid: replace previously inserted worksheet content
In this example we create an application that constructs new user interface elements on the fly. That is, we start with a plot and a table. On each click of the plot, we tear down the whole interface and rebuild it as a plot and a bigger table. This allows us to redefine the user interface as needed.
Step 1: Execute this Code Edit region
Step 2: Execute the following command, and then click on the plot to add points to the table
PlotAndFunctionTabletanx,cotx;
click on the plot to add points to the table below

The definition of the procedure in the Code Edit region is given below. The flow is:
PlotAndFunctionTabletanx,cotx; — calls ModuleApply, which generates the worksheet XML, and injects it into the current document via DocumentTools:-InsertContent.
Click() — when a user clicks on the plot, the Click() method is called. This generates new worksheet XML and replaces the old interface via a call to DocumentTools:-InsertContent, giving it the replaceid option with the name of any one of the components present in the original task.
