The package provides commands for access to properties of embedded components such as buttons or slider bars, in a Standard Maple document or worksheet. For details on interactive components, see the Overview of Embedded Components help page.

The package also provides commands for accessing mathematical expressions contained in document or worksheet files, as well as the ability to query or change the properties of the document or worksheet file.
