@Carl Love Yes of course the weights would change the deviation.  But I think that points to where the underlying issue lies as to why Maple won't calculate the Standard deviation when increasing the weighting, indeed it should change but doesn't.  Does that mean it's a bug?  Not sure but the issue comes up only when using weights.

One could instead create a proc that would circumvent the issue when StandardDeviation command is called, yes?

@Markiyan Hirnyk 

Interestingly

with(Statistics): L := [3, 2]: W := <700, 130000>: StandardDeviation(L, weights = W);

                   HFloat(0.7071067811865475)

So regardless of the weight values we get the same value 0.707106...

The different graphics drivers must react to maple 17 differently.

Markiyan Hirnyk said it works for him.  Be interesting to know if the line was solid black or grey or multi level greyscaled. 

In Classic M17.00 the line is a single grey color for me.
For the standard GUI the line color is scaled from black to white. 

It would be interesting to know if the scaled color for the line is standard across all users or if it's supposed to be one color .. all grey as in the M17 classic or scaled color M17 standard or all black as displayed in M12.  

Interestingly forcing a linestyle caused the line to appear then plot options color=black should also work but it is unclear if this was tried and failed or not.

@dholtzman Did you try Alejandro Jakubi's method?  What happened with that result?

You could also add color=black to see if anything happens there.

@dholtzman Works here as well however the line is not a solid color.

Try rotating the plot, maybe you're looking at it straight on hence seeing only a dot or not at all.  Add orientation=[45,45,45] in the display command to be sure. 

The line created for me is gray scaled (black at [0,0,0] to white at [1,1,1])

In M12 the line is completely black.  Not sure why the color is scaled in M17.00 though.

I believe one needs the NAG C library to follow the examples given in the help pages.

Alternatively there is a way without the NAG C library I am sure a few people are already working on. 

A silly mistake by all new Maple users.  Maple can absolutely answer.  I won't reiterate Kitonums answer below.  ...

re M12 limited?  not really.  As a matter of fact, even the newest software is limited.

A little more...

convert([3],bytes) produces an empty square box where it should produce the ♥ symbol.

Any reason as to why not?

This has been an issue on a few occassions when importing from other languages as well.  Is it more than just a font issue?

If printing in black and white add symbol= circle for one and symbol=diamond for the other.

@John Fredsted :hmm... I am still unable to replicate.  I wonder if it's an issue native to the Windows 8? 7? or something (I'm using XP).  Maybe a firewall issue?  I wonder what configuration ANANDMUNAGALA is using .. that could narrow the problem down if it's not related Maple.

You mention even simple worksheets cause it to freeze.  I have not been able to replicate your situation. 

It would help if you could upload a simple worksheet that you experience the issue in.  Alternately you mention you sometimes mistype the combination.  Is it possible some other combination of letters?

Perhaps to turn this post into something more constructive, there is someone with time and interest to create a Maple procedure that would utilize google translate?

End key works in M12 and the tab key outside of code edit regions doesn't appear useable.

Perhaps with M18 on the horizon .. someone should start the M18 wish list, being almost Christmas time.

As a workaround crtl-c and crtl-v a few spaces.  Although it won't help in the conversion of documents already created with TAB, it would help in the creation of new documents.  Outside of that, the hope is for it to be included in the next version, or even better, an update.

By the way, on a seperate topic did you happen to check out the experimental continually updated physics package?

I wanted to check to see if the longer side had a larger area so I quickly drew it up in AutoCAD and calculated the area.  The calculated area is 8.6667
