Label tool

With this tool you can add text, Markdown, or mathematical formulas into the infinite canvas.

Modes

The label tool can be used in different modes:

Mode	คำอธิบาย
ข้อความ	Adds plain text labels.
มาร์กดาวน์	Adds formatted Markdown labels.

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?

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?

It is up to you, but sometimes a properly formatted mathematical expression is preferred over handwriting.

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

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:

$$\int_{7}^{6}$$
