I'm afraid there is no feature like this in Maple. We will consider adding it in a future release. David Clayworth Maplesoft GUI Developer

Hi Jens You might want to look at this thread which talks more about exporting your animated plots. In short, if you export an animated plot in GIF format (not any of the others) it will write out an 'animated gif'. Most presentation software should be able to read that format in and display it as an animation. You can also use tools like ImageMagick to convert the animated gif to other formats if you need to. You might also like to consider Maple 11's "slideshow" mode to create simple presentations within Maple, making the whole power of Maple available during the presentation.

The short and technical answer to the first question is that yes, in Maple 11 animated gif is still the only way to export an animated plot in a standard format. It's not high priority for us at the moment because there are many good, free tools out there to convert animations from one format to another. ImageMagick is one well-known tool among many. I recommand some of the other ways of doing presentations if that's what you want to do. David Clayworth Maplesoft GUI Developer

cybercrypt13 As one of the people responsible for the Maple interface, I'd really like to know how you got to be using implicitplot for this task. Did you already know about the plot command, and think it wouldn't work here? If not, was implicitplot easier to find in the help than plot? Feel free to send me a private message if you'd rather not reply here. David Clayworth Maplesoft GUI Developer

I downloaded your worksheet and EPS file. Both Maple 10 and 11 seemed to render the graph as well as could be expected on a given screen resolution. There will always be a certain 'jaggedness' of a curved line on a screen because of the square pixels. I loaded the eps file into a postscript renderer and saw some of the 'blurring' you mention. That is the renderer's normal way of trying to compensate for the jaggedness. When I printed the document the curves come out very sharp indeed, with no jaggedness or blurring. Have you tried printing the documents to an actual printer? David Clayworth Maplesoft GUI Developer

This message means that either the Maple kernel or the Maple GUI has died for some reason. You should talk to Maplesoft technical support, ideally with a worksheet that reliably reproduces the problem. David Clayworth Maplesoft GUI Developer

The easiest way to get simple plots is to use the context menus. Enter the expression you want to plot in 2D math( say x squared) and then right-click to bring up the context menu. There's a 'plots' submenu in the menu; select the '2D plot' entry and lo! a plot of x squared. You can customize the plot using more entries from the context menu.

I've just been talking to Maplesoft technical support. This is perfectly fixable if the original poster would like to get back to them. David Clayworth Maplesoft GUI Developer

I would either convert the data to a form that can be understood by plots[pointplot] or create dummy plots, with the same symbol, color etc. as the scatterplots, add legends for them, and include them in the 'display' command. You would need to keep the dummy points outside the viewed region. David Clayworth Maplesoft GUI Developer

This works on Maple 10 Standard on Windows. It's possible that it's a Mac or MacOSX specific bug. It's also possible that the plot driver is unable to open the file (though that should give a different error message). Can I suggest you first make sure that the file can be written to (some versions of Maple write to the Maple installation directory by default, which often isn't writable - try a fully-qualified filename). Then try some of the other plot drivers. If that still doesn't work I recommend contacting Maplesoft technical support. David Clayworth Maplesoft GUI Developer

You can add the information you want to each frame as part of the 'tmp_alpha_plot' procedure. The simplest way is to add a 'title="..."' option to each 'display' command, but if you want the information at a specific place in the plot create it with plots[textplot], combining it into the main 'display' command. When you make the animation each piece of text will appear in the right frame. David Clayworth Maplesoft GUI Developer

This was a bug in Maple 10, but it is fixed in Maple 11. David Clayworth Maplesoft GUI Developer

The Maplenet browser used by this site is still at version 10, so you will have to download the file to get the right effect. David Clayworth Maplesoft GUI Developer

What we mean by this is that everywhere you used to be able to put text you can now put math on 2D plots. This includes tickmarks, titles, captions, axis labels, legend entries and text plots. help on "typesetting,plot" will give you more details. I'm attaching a simple example worksheet, which includes how to make a tickmark with a fraction of Pi. View 572_mathExample.mw on MapleNet or Download 572_mathExample.mw

Do you mean the ability to use math typesetting in plots, or set tickmark labels as functions of Pi? Here is an example worksheet demonstrating both. View 572_pispacing.mw on MapleNet or Download 572_pispacing.mw
