Was working with some antenna design equations and noticed that in a certain plot definition, the addition of gridlines changes the shape of the plotted curve.  Is this a bug or is there something obvious here that I am overlooking?  This one really has me scratching my head.  The only difference between the two plots below is the addition of the gridline spec.

Many thanks!

I see a number of MaplePrimes questions answered with good examples using prefix notation.  Is there good reference material somewhere that can show me how to make use of prefix notation when using Maple?  It's not always obvious (to me) how to construct maple commands using prefix operators so I typically just use the standard commands.  Understanding Maples prefix notation would help in understanding some of the answers given to questions in this forum.  Thanks.

I'm attempting to visualize temperature averages across a 2 dimentional space (e.g., a square plate) with fixed heat sources. The 3rd dimension (z axis) represents temperature.  I have created several visualizations but have questions about how these plots work.  The model is attached and the questions will make sense once you open the worksheet.

1. Using the "colorscheme" option on a couple of matrixplots, I get the error "[Length of output exceeds limit of 1000000]" and the plot doesn't show.  However using the "display()" command on those same plots does render the plot.  Is there a way around this error (i.e., rendering the plot directly) or should I just suppress the error using a colon at the end of the plot statement and rely on display() to show the plot?
2. I've created a heat map as one of the visualizations.  Is there a way to access the color values at each of the "cells" of the heat map? I would like to use these colors elsewhere in the model but I'm not sure if there is a way to access the color values.
3. Using a 3D point plot as one of the visualization options, I use the colorschemes with options "xgradient", "ygradient", and "zgradient".  For some reason, "xgradient" and "ygradient" work as expected but "zgradient" looks the same as "ygradient".  How do I get the color transition to change along the z axis rather than only x and y axes?

Thank you for your help on these questions.

I see that using units with the maximize() function causes the connection to the kernel to be lost and then Maple (v2018) must be restarted for things to work properly.  This is obviously not desired behavior - is there any known workaround for this issue? (other than forgoing the use of units?).  Attached is a simple worksheet that illustrates this problem.  It has one part without units that works properly and one part with units that causes the error:  Units_Lose_Kernel.mw

I am using temperature units with thermophysical data and scientific constants but am getting inconsistent behavior when using these.  In some cases (e.g., when calling thermophysical data), it seems that it's best to use a Temperature object.  However I have tried to use scientific constants in calculations and it seems that temperature expressions work best (i.e., when using degrees K rather than deg F or deg C).  Simplifying/combining units don't seem to work when using a Temperature object (or when using expressions with deg F).  It may be something simple I am overlooking but I can't figure out the pattern of behavior yet.  I've attached a file that demonstrates the issue:  Temperature_Object_Use.mw

Thanks for any insight here.
