Label tool
With this tool you can add text, Markdown, or mathematical formulas into the infinite canvas.
The label tool can be used in different modes:
| Mode | תיאור |
|---|---|
| טקסט | Adds plain text labels. |
| Markdown | Adds formatted Markdown labels. |
Mathematics
Section titled “Mathematics”You can write mathematical formulas instead of drawing them by using the text label tool.
The text label tool supports LaTeX for defining mathematical formulas.
What is LaTeX?
Section titled “What is LaTeX?”LaTeX is a markup language that has many features. You can use it to write mathematical formulas in Butterfly.
Why should I write math equations when I can draw them?
Section titled “Why should I write math equations when I can draw them?”It is up to you, but sometimes a properly formatted mathematical expression is preferred over handwriting.
How do I apply LaTeX?
Section titled “How do I apply LaTeX?”To apply LaTeX to the text you have written, select the text and then press the math symbol in the toolbar.
You need to follow LaTeX syntax for this to work.
LaTeX syntax
Section titled “LaTeX syntax”To start using LaTeX, you need to know its syntax.
A backslash (\) must precede any LaTeX command to indicate it is a command.
An example command is \int_{7}^{6}, which is used to show the integral symbol:
Useful commands
Section titled “Useful commands”| Command | תיאור | Example | Example command |
|---|---|---|---|
\sqrt[n]{arg} | Square root symbol, or nth root | \sqrt[3]{x+1} | |
\frac{num}{den} | Fraction with numerator and denominator | \frac{a+1}{b-1} | |
\stackrel{a}{b} | Places something (a) above another (b) | \stackrel{!}{=} | |
\left<delimiter> and \right<delimiter> | Scaling delimiters. \left must be paired with a \right | \left( \frac{x}{2} \right) | |
\sum_{lower}^{upper} | Summation symbol with limits | \sum_{i=1}^{n} i | |
\mid | Vertical bar as relation, such as “divides” or conditional | a\mid b | |
\prod_{lower}^{upper} | Product symbol with limits | \prod_{k=1}^{m} k | |
\int_{a}^{b} | Integral with limits | \int_{0}^{1} x^2\,dx | |
\langle and \rangle | Angle brackets for inner products or tuples | \langle v,w\rangle | |
\in and \notin | Set membership or not membership | , | x\in A, y\notin B |
\forall and \exists | Universal or existential quantifiers | \forall x\in\mathbb{R},\ \exists y | |
\to | Right arrow for functions or limits | , | f:A\to B, x_n\to x |
