Radical Pie Equation Editor |
At the top of the main editor window, Radical Pie displays 17 palettes that contain all sorts of mathematical symbols and the various structures that may appear in an equation. Clicking on a palette button brings up a menu containing its symbols and structures.

The following icons at the top of the editor window represent the 17 different palettes.
