Visual Commands

This is a complete overview of the visual commands available for scripting in Algebrakit. You typically use visual commands for rendering special characters or constructs like tables, superscripts and subscripts, as part of an exercise description.

Visual commands

You can use visual commands for rendering constructions like tables, text within mathematical expressions, and summations.

Visual Command Description
Plot Plot plots a graph containing a function or functions in a domain.
Table Table renders a table.
Text Text encapsulates text inside mathematical expressions. You can also use it to enforce an order between expressions and text.
VisualSum VisualSum renders a summation.

Constructs

Name Description in rendered
VariableBar VariableBar[ var ] renders var with a bar over it. VariableBar[ x ] x̄
VisualDots VisualDots renders three dots ... . Write as VisualDots^2 Write as ...2
VisualFenced VisualFenced[ expr ] explicitly renders brackets around expr. By default, excess brackets are not rendered. VisualFenced[a+b] + c (a+b)+c
VisualSubscript VisualSubscript[expr1, expr2] renders expr1 with expr2 as subscript. VisualSubscript[S, xx] Sxx
VisualSup VisualSup[expr1, expr2] renders expr1 with expr2 as superscript. VisualSup[S, xx] Sxx
