AskDisplay[expr]
is a construct for use inside AskFunction that displays the result of evaluating expr in the context of the AskFunction.
Details
- AskDisplay generates a temporary display that is dismissed by clicking a button.
- Before AskDisplay[expr] displays a result, any inner Ask and related functions will interactively ask for values if the values are not already known.
