Special constants

Image FundamentalConstants% WIDTH=651 HEIGHT=103

Some special constants ( $$e=2.72\ldots$% WIDTH=82 HEIGHT=14$ , $$\pi=3.14\ldots$% WIDTH=84 HEIGHT=14$ , 0, 1, $$\infty$% WIDTH=20 HEIGHT=14$ ) can be placed on the canvas, via two methods:

By clicking on the relevant icon on the Fundamental Constants (``constop'') toolbar; or
By typing the constant name on the canvas, and pressing Enter (or clicking OK) in the variable definition window. These names are: Euler for $$e=2.72\ldots$% WIDTH=82 HEIGHT=14$ ; pi for $$\pi=3.14\ldots$% WIDTH=84 HEIGHT=14$ ; inf for $$\infty$% WIDTH=20 HEIGHT=14$ ; and the percent symbol for the percent operator (which multiplies the input by 100).
