[size=100]The [i]CAS View Toolbar[/i] provides a range of [i]CAS Tools[/i] that can be operated with your pointer. They allow you to evaluate input and perform calculations. [br][br][img]https://wiki.geogebra.org/uploads/thumb/c/c3/Toolbar-CAS.png/315px-Toolbar-CAS.png[/img][br][/size][u][br]Note[/u]: Always enter your input before you select the desired [i]CAS Tool[/i]. In this way, the tool can be applied directly to your input.
