Create a Scalar

To create a scalar on a page:

  1. While in Edit Mode, select Scalar img_def_Scalar_Object_button_bmp from the Object menu.

The scalar object can contain any numerical, string or element valued scalar identifier. If you select an indexed identifier, you should fix each index in the domain to either a specific set element or an element parameter.
