equation(s) of the form option=value where option is one of item, or `option`; specify options for the ReturnItem element

Description

• 

The ReturnItem element specifies which values are returned to Maple when a Maplet application closes.

• 

The ReturnItem element features can be modified by using options. To simplify specifying options in the Maplets package, certain options and contents can be set without using an equation. The following table lists elements, symbols, and types (in the left column) and the corresponding option or content (in the right column) to which inputs of this type are, by default, assigned.

Assumed Option or Content

 

 

name or string

• 

A ReturnItem element cannot contain other elements.

• 

A ReturnItem element can be contained in a Return element.

• 

The following table describes the control and use of the ReturnItem element options.

  

An x in the I column indicates that the option can be initialized, that is, specified in the calling sequence (element definition).

  

An x in the R column indicates that the option is required in the calling sequence.

  

An x in the G column indicates that the option can be read, that is, retrieved by using the Get tool.

  

An x in the S column indicates that the option can be written, that is, set by using the SetOption element or the Set tool.
