I am trying to use Maple to produce an image that will be part of a math paper.  The final image must be in .eps format.  Whenever I produce a plot in Maple17 and click on it, it looks like the image has the shape of a square (regardless of what's inside it), perhaps with a lot of empty space.  I want an image without a lot of empty space, and I'd like Maple to do this.  If I crop a square image using some other application, it is not going to improve the quality of the image and might hurt it.  

If the answer to question in the Title is "no", can anyone suggest a good way to produce a good .eps image from a Maple plot that is cropped properly to eliminate as much empty space as possible?  I have Photoshop, but I don't know if this is the best way to go.

I wrote a toy file that plots a simple curve.  I'll upload it and provide a link to it.  If you execute the code and click on the image, you'll see that it is a square with a lot of empty space.

Can any workarounds in Maple for debugging the code without procedure? 

Good morning to all our Mapleprimes members.

It is very helpful to many persons who are very passion and dedicated to teach Mathematics using Maple technology if the software package is loaded with updated maple procedures of all the topics.

I am being of them, request the technical authorities and the eminant professors to support and develop this requirement.It becomes an open door to many people to enter and aquire the immence knowledge in Maple.

With thanks & Regards

Dear All,

please help me with my problem. i have quite a big program all parts of which are distributed in the several code edit regions and in the main text. i'd like to find all occurenses of gven text in all open documents including code edit regions. i know how to do it manually by openening each code edit regiong and pressing Ctrl-F. however it is very time consuming and defocuses me apart from my main tasks. i'd prefer to use some combinations of 'hot keys' on the keybord or one or two mouse clicks as for example in MS Visual Studio.  

I am creating a plot in Maple17 which will include many line segments and polygons.  I want the axes to be equally scaled, so that line segments that are perpendicular actually look perpendicular.  When I view what I have created so far, line segments that are perpendicular do not appear to be so in a plot, even though I used the "scaling=constrained" option several times.  I created a stripped-down file that isolates the problem.  Here it is:

Download perp.mw

An angle that should be a right angle looks obtuse in the plot.  I used "scaling=constrained" in both the "display" command and the "segp" procedure.  I am using "polygonplot" to plot line segments (degenerate polygons) because the final plot will contain genuine polygons and this seemed like the easiest way to do it.  If this is a bad idea for some reason I can change it.

GS

so would anybody know how to write a function that checks whether two line segments intersect?  each line segment is given a list [[a,b],[x,y]] , of 2 lists with 2 numbers in each.   

it should return  "True" if ∃s,t ∈ [0,t] : sa+(1-s)b =tx+(1-t)y ,  else"False"

 I haven't a clue so any help would be appreciated,

thanks in advance.

Is there any way to write a function that determines the area of any n-sided polygon determined by a sequence of points? ie [[x_1, y_1]. [x_2, y_2], ... [x_n, y_n]] while returning 0 if any of the 2 segments intersect, otherwise print the area. Thanks for any help

Hello, everyone!

Last week I’ve encountered problems with integration of Maple 17 in Microsoft Office Excel 2013. The Maplesoft note on the point (http://www.maplesoft.com/support/faqs/detail.aspx?sid=32651) offers some ways of fixing it up, though I’ve run all of them the problem is the same:

While the connection is established, after entering the formula “=Maple(“x+x”)”, the Excel returns “Critical Error in Formula”

Before contacting the Maplesoft Technical Support, I want to ask here whether someone had the same case and managed to solve it.

Many thanks in advance.

I am using the ColumnSpace command (from the LinearAlgebra package) to generate a basis for the column space of a matrix. Is there any way to "force" the command to express the basis in terms of columns of A and not in the canonical form with leading 1's?

For example, for

A:=Matrix([[-3,6,-1,1-7],[1,-2,2,3,-1],[2,-4,5,8,-4]]):

I would like to obtain the following basis for the column space:

{[-3,1,2],[-1,2,5]}

Hi, 

I have the following six equations that I need to solve:

eq1 := A^5*f6+A^4*f5+A^3*f4+A^2*f3+A*f2+f1 = ln(V1);
print(??); # input placeholder
eq2 := B^5*f6+B^4*f5+B^3*f4+B^2*f3+B*f2+f1 = ln(V2);

eq3 := 5*A^4*f6+4*A^3*f5+3*A^2*f4+2*A*f3+f2 = F1/V1;
eq4 := 5*B^4*f6+4*B^3*f5+3*B^2*f4+2*B*f3+f2 = F2/V2;
eq5 := 20*A^3*f6+12*A^2*f5+6*A*f4+2*f3 = G1/V1-[F1/V1]^2;
eq6 := 20*B^3*f6+12*B^2*f5+6*B*f4+2*f3 = G2/V2-[F2/V2]^2;

 where V1, V2, F1 & F2 have previously been found/defined in the worksheet (document).

When I use the solve command, more often than not I get the expression for the numerical calculation for each variable f1-f6, rather than an actual value:

solutionset := solve({eq1, eq2, eq3, eq4, eq5, eq6}, {f1, f2, f3, f4, f5, f6})

{f1 = 0.4096495220755576e-2*[-1.328181534188746]^2-0.3072371415566682e-1*[-9.408269235937702]^2+12.64287210303000, f2 = .3686845698680018*[-9.408269235937702]^2-49.98313436120349-0.6690942193900774e-1*[-1.328181534188746]^2, f3 = -1.423532089212563*[-9.408269235937702]^2+150.6490386090756+.3909877105143377*[-1.328181534188746]^2, f4 = -.9490213928083751*[-1.328181534188746]^2+1.954938552571689*[-9.408269235937702]^2-190.3706247009334, f5 = .8192990441511152*[-1.328181534188746]^2-1.115157032316796*[-9.408269235937702]^2+103.8844069311055, f6 = .2275830678197542*[-9.408269235937702]^2-20.57204700597870-.2275830678197542*[-1.328181534188746]^2}

Why is Maple not giving me the actual value for the variables, and how do I get it to do so, everytime? [In fact it did output the actual values once – but I have no idea what I did differently: it seems to be very random….]

i.e. how do I output the following:

solutionset := {f1 = 9.930572749191651, f2 = -17.46685689954139, f3 = 25.33406943774393, f4 = -19.00233912206421, f5 = 6.620988906086421, f6 = -.8288827301180226}

thanks

Hi, I am trying to plot these two curves:

I tried:

with(plots);  A := Array(1..2)  A[1] :=plot (0.199563349672261+0.0178636902277546 x^1.14406289706794-0.0182070811144750 x^(1.13867380551454),x=50..2050,  color=red);  A[2]  := plot(0.298910542599302+0.0117459591500434 x^1.00390277106937-0.0137065176395662 x^0.970667551759677, x = 50..2050, color = blue);  display (A);

and I got:

Error, (in plot) unexpected option: .298910542599302+0.117459591500434e-1*x^1.00390277106937-0.137065176395662e-1*x^.970667551759677

so I tried

so I am not sure how I would graph these two functions...

I've been on this question a week now and still no conclusive answer! What I need is a function that produces the inequalities that determine a triangle given the 3 points and then using a 4th point, prints true if the 4th point satisfies 2 or 3 or the inequalities and prints false if it only satisfies 1 or none of the inequalities. I need to have this solved by tonight so any quick help would be greatly appreciated!

I need to make a graph that has dates 1/14/2000 on the x axis and intrest rates on the y axis but when i import my spread sheet from excell the dates keep getting converted into lager numbers like 37000 for some reason and i cannot figure out how to stop this odd conversion. Has anyone encountered this?? i tried looking up dates in maple hepl but cant find much on this topic. Hope i explained what is happening well enough. Graph_One_b.mwGraph_One_b.mw

So I have the energy of an ion at a several points in space, where the x and z coordinates have been varied from 0-1, keeping y constant. The data is in the following file: 

y=0.xlsx

When I come to produce a 3D surface plot (grid) of this file using the plots option in the context menu (on right clicking), the following is produced: the x-axis is in red and the y-axis (z-coordinate) is in blue.

Yet if I use the interactive plot builder, to plot the same data, the only option available to me is a 3D point plot, which produces the following:

[If I try to plot a 3D surface plot (points) using the context menu, I get stuck at a evaluating stage...]

as, ideally, I want a surface plot, why, in the surface plot (grid) is MAPLE not recognising the data that corresponds to the higher z-coordinate values and how I can produce a full surface plot...
