| | | Some Maple plot options |
Try modifying some Maple plots by using some of the following plot options. A comma-separated list of plot options can change many aspects of the visual display of the plot data.
axes=NONE
This option removes the coordinate axes
from the plot. Other values for axes are NORMAL,
FRAMED, and BOXED.
scaling=CONSTRAINED
This option makes the scale
the same on both axes. The alternative is UNCONSTRAINED.
numpoints=100
This sets the minimum number of
points that Maple computes to make the plot. Larger values
should help smooth out corners in a plot.
color=red
This plots the curve in red. Maple knows
common colors such as blue, green, yellow, violet; also maroon,
the color of Texas A&M University.
title="My pretty picture"
This makes a title for the plot.
Remember to enclose the title in quotes.
You can modify a plot interactively by left clicking on the plot and using the buttons on the menu bar that appears or by right clicking on the plot and using the menu that appears.
To learn more about two-dimensional Maple plots, open the Maple help browser, locate the Graphics section, and then select 2D; or at the Maple command prompt type ?plot.
You can declare global defaults for plot options with the setoptions command. For example, if you are going to print hard copy of a worksheet on a monochrome printer, you might want to declare setoptions(color=black);. To learn more about plot options, type ?plot[options] at the Maple command prompt.
