## Where is the elaborate documentation for plot opti...

Trying to understand how Maple works, I wanted to read the documentation.

For the "plot" statements, there is a "view" option, and I found the build in documentation in version 2016 to say:

So based on this a list should be given with two range elements, and not other valid option format was described.

However, based on examples I fould, it appeas that a single range element (giving the Y range I guess) is also valid, like in:

Where am I missign the elaborate documentation that describes the legal option type?  Or is Maple programming just some kind of guess and try hacker language ? ;-)

## The factor option for implicitplot3d?...

For implicitplot of say (cos(\theta))^2, I had to use 'factor' in the options for the plot so that it considers cos(theta) also while plotting. But I couldn't do the same in implicitplot3d. How can I achieve this plotting of all factors of a function for implicitplot3d?

## Call to plot options without the name...

Is it possible to make a call to any of the plot options without using it's designated name?

I don't know if I'm clear enough but for example

plot({x^2,x+1},linestyle=[dash,dashdot])

use some argument that designates the first and second option etc ...
for example like
plot({x^2,x+1},linestyle=["%1","%2"])

## correct the API for dsolve with series option

by:

I do not think the current API for dsolve when asking for series solution is done right. If one wants to obtain a series solution for an ODE, but wants different order than the default 6, now one must set this value using a global setting before making the call, like this:

eq:=diff(y(x),x\$2)+y(x)=0;
Order:=10;
dsolve({eq,y(0)=1,D(y)(0)=0},y(x),type='series');

It would be better if options to calls are passed along with the other parameters in the call itself. Something like

dsolve({eq,y(0)=1,D(y)(0)=0},y(x),type='series',order=10);

This should also apply to any command that takes Order, such as series(cos(x),x=0,order=10);

Passing options and values to functions using global and environment variables is not safe and not a good way to go about it as it can cause programming errors.

## How do list the optionals of an optional argument ...

In this document, I think that is the relevent section. But I couldnt understand it.

I want something like this

>plot(sin(x),color=yellow);

>plot(sin(x),color=organe);

>plot(sin(x),color=red);

>plot(sin(x),color=green);

>plot(sin(x),color=ABC); # error

>plot(sin(x),color=CBA);# error

optional, but works fine within a given sets of choices.

How do I write a procedure like that?

Thanks!

## solving for x gives me x->...

Every time I try to solve for a variable it gives me an arrow.

ex solve(5.6*10^-4=((x)(x))/(0.2-x),x)

gives me

x -> 7/62500 - 7/12500 x

How do I get it to stop giving me the x -> ?

Or at least reset some options so I don't have to reinstall the whole thing?

## How to plot a vertical plane with a curved top...

I tried this, but it doesn't seem to like having the x's and y's in the z range.

## Cylindrical fieldplot3d...

Hi,

I am missing two options in the "fieldplot3d" command, which I am using in cylindrical coordinates: one is "style=contour" and the other is "axes=cylindrical" where apparently only the "axes=boxed" option as available.
Any ideas how I can get this?

Or can I show a polar plane at one end of the cylinder? like in the post:
http://www.mapleprimes.com/questions/38553-Plot-3D-Cylindrical-Coordinates

this is my plot:

## How to plot phase analysis?...

I'm trying to plot phase analysis for the Friedmann's equation, however when running the protocol and trying to plot these phase analysis, it comes up with error that rho wasn't allowed in the set of options!

Here's the code i'm having difficulty with!?!

> SFsys := proc (lambda, W, ics, T, v, u) local sys, flatF, rho0line, plot0, plotDSp, plotDSm, plotE, flatF_Plot, IC, df1, df2;
sys := eval(DSys, {Lambda = lambda, gamma = W});

## Run a mpl file with options...

Hi guys,

I've a simple question, can I run a maple mpl file with options? I mean, instad of

maple file.mpl &

doing

maple file.mpl --option1 value 1 --option2 value2 etc &

If yes, how do I instruct the code about what to do with those options, eg assign them to variable?

Thanks

## plot,options : numpoints=round(1e+4) works but...

by:

just a comment in passing, for the record,

it appears that the numpoints plot option can be used this way:

numpoints=round(1e+4)

but not in the simpler form:

numpoints=1e+4

that's because 1e+4 is "1000." with a dot while round(1e+4) is "1000" with no dot.

There probably are good reasons why 1e+4 is not treated as a natural number, but I haven't investigated them.
