plot(x^4+sin(Pi*x),x=-1..1);
Plots the graph of y = x4 + sin(Pi*x) for x between -1 and 1.
implicitplot(x^2+y^2=1,x=-1..1,y=-1..1);
Plots the unit circle defined implicitly by the equation x2 + y2 = 1.
plot( [cos(t), sin(t), t=0..2*Pi] );
Plots the unit circle defined by the parametric equations x = cos(t) and y = sin(t).
polarplot(1, t=0..2*Pi);
Plots the unit circle defined by the polar equation r = 1.
display( [plot1, plot2] );
Displays the two plots named plot1 and
plot2 together. (There is also an
animate command.)
plot( [ [1,2], [-3,4], [5,6] ] );
Plots two line segments, one from the point
(1,2) to the point (-3,4) and
the second from the point (-3,4) to the point
(5,6).
polygonplot( [ [1,2], [-3,4], [5,6] ] );
Plots a solid triangle with vertices (1,2),
(-3,4), and (5,6).
axes=NONE
Removes the coordinate axes from the plot. Other values for
axes are NORMAL,
FRAMED, and BOXED.
scaling=CONSTRAINED
Makes the scale the same on both axes. The alternative is
UNCONSTRAINED.
numpoints=100
The minimum number of points that Maple computes to make the plot. Larger values should help smooth out corners in the plot.
color=red
Plots the curve in red. Maple knows common colors such as blue, green, yellow, violet; also maroon, the color of Texas A&M.
title=`Bonfire`
Makes a title for the plot. Remember to enclose the title in backquotes.
