Calling Sequence

ClearGroup()

Description

• 

The ClearGroup command removes the math and text contents of the active canvas group, leaving the group intact with a single empty math container inside.  Designate which group to clear by using the SetActive command prior to calling ClearGroup.

• 

A "canvas" is an interactive section of a Maple document created by the NewCanvas command, or a shared web-based Maple Learn document.  See the Script command for a more complete description.

Examples

In this example, we will create a canvas, then use a script to change an entry and then clear the group.

Create a canvas with a group of items and a button that clears the group and then inserts new text

withDocumentTools:-Canvas

ClearGroup := proc(canvas)
   local sc := Script();
   SetActive(sc,"G");
   ClearGroup(sc);
   SetText(sc,"insert after clear");
   ToString(sc);
end proc:
