Here's code for two different ways to animate the graph

with(plots):
animate(plot,[x2+t,x=-2..2],t=0..1);

and the second way

with(plots):
display(seq(plot(x2+t/20,x=-2..2),t=0..20),insequence=true);

 

 

The new application center useability borders on the unuseable for dial up users.  Currently I'm on dial-up and the initial page of the application center has been loading for, oh ... I'd say about 10 minutes now and its. ... still loading.  Why do they need hi res pictures, can't they downgrade them? It'll definitely speed things up.  Anyone with a dial-up connection will find the center almost unbearable and unbelievably slow compared to the ultra fast application center of old. 

Maybe a poll should be done on high speed and dial up internet connections just to find out what percentage of users are on high speed.  I may be on the low side but probably not for long, the sinking economy will bring people back down to earth.  Job losses today and tomorrow are surely going to have people cutting their high speed high priced internet connections from their bills everymonth to save money.  Luckily, for now, I can use the high speed T1 line at work and even there I noticed it fairly slow. 

Adding a classic site interface like maple itself would solve the speed issue immediately and give users an option.

Since Maple itself has the old classic style interface why not have an old style classic interface for the application center. 

The new site is fancy and all but it's very slow.  I don't know how I'm going to manage on my dial up.  Yes some of us are still on dial up.  I do like the ability to add comments it's a nice addition but all the extra graphic fluff slows it down.   It seems today people need to turn to flashy graphic eye candy to make people think it's worthwhile.  I don't believe so, the nice text display of the old was faster and an easier interface. 

I vote for a classic applications interface option. 

I think the triangles being refferred to are the filled triangles that open and collapse a section of a document and not the open prompt ">"

The answer from maplesoft is that it is definitely an idea.  They might have a best of CD available at some point in the future, now that I have put the idea in their heads, but there is currently nothing in the works to do such a thing at this time. 

Sorry for the multiple posts, my connection was interrupted. 

And thank you for that command!  I've been searching for ages to figure something out, you've finally solved it for me.

A while back I was working on something using string tools and plotted numbers from it but later forgot how I did it.  The only thing I found was the convert(x,base,10) command which eventually did what I wanted but not what I had done earlier but it was so annoying that I couldn't figure it out and eventually I gave up trying to find out what commands I used.   Now I realize to convert a string number to it's integer value to use parse.  B-E-A-utiful!  Thanks again. 

This ties up nicely the last question I asked at the end of this thread.

If I use stringtools I couldn't mathematically manipulate the numbers.
