Mathematica's symbolic architecture makes it possible to treat images just like any other form of expression—applying functions to them, displaying and inputting them in ...

Mathematica can export anything it displays—graphics, text, formulas, notebooks—to any standard raster image format. It can also import from such formats to give Mathematica ...

SystemDialogInput["type"] brings up an interactive system dialog and returns the value chosen in the dialog. SystemDialogInput["type", init] uses init as the initial setting ...

The functions described in "Textual Input and Output Overview" determine how expressions should be formatted when they are printed, but they do not actually cause anything to ...

Steps in the operation of Mathematica. When you type something like x^2 what Mathematica at first sees is just the string of characters x, ^, 2. But with the usual way that ...

Row[{expr_1, expr_2, ...}] is an object that formats with the expr_i arranged in a row, potentially extending over several lines. Row[list, s] inserts s as a separator ...

Graph[{e_1, e_2, ...}] yields a graph with edges e_j.Graph[{v 1, v 2, ...}, {e_1, e_2, ...}] yields the graph with vertices v_i and edges e_j. Graph[{..., w_i[v_i, ...], ...

CopyToClipboard[expr] replaces the contents of the clipboard with expr.

Just as Mathematica allows you to define how expressions should be evaluated, so also it allows you to define how expressions should be formatted for output. The basic idea ...

Low-level functions for converting between expressions and boxes. MakeBoxes generates boxes without evaluating its input. MakeExpression interprets boxes but uses ...
