Found case where PDEtools:-Solve gives exception but not solve.

Is this known issue?

I create a plot, then later on, I want to use the same view for a second plot or using the same starting x, ending x and starting y and ending y. For reasons no need to get into into, I need to do this and I have no access to this information at this time. I only have access to the p variable used to store the plot into as in this example below.

I am not sure what is the correct way to do read this information from the PLOTS structure as I never used it before. 

Help describes the PLOTS structure under "PLOT and PLOT3D Data Structures" , but do not see how is one supposed to read different parts of it. I could have missed it. Maple help pages are very hard for me to read in order to obtain the information needed. From help it says:

The Maple plotting functions, plot, plot3d, and others, produce PLOT and PLOT3D data structures describing the images to be displayed.

By trial and error, for standard plot this worked

p:=plot(sin(x),x=-1..10):
op([4,1,2,2],p)

returns

           "originalview" = [-0.9862500000 .. 9.9862500000, -1.0000000000 .. 1.0000000000]

I see also that command plottools:-getdata(p):  returns the data. So I could also do (it is stored in matrix, in third entry):

p0:=plottools:-getdata(p);
startingx:=p0[3][1,1];
startingy:=p0[3][1,2];
endingx:=p0[3][-1,1];
endingy:=p0[3][-1,2];

Will the above work all the time? should this command be used to obtain this information or is there a better way?

When I lprint(p) I see these fields have actual names. For example  , here is screen shot of lprint(p)  

it looks like  a RECORD data structure. But when I tried p:-originalview  Error, `p` does not evaluate to a module 

The question is: What is the correct way to find what x range and y range was used for an earlier plot, given one has access only to p variable used to store the output of the plot command?  This is for 2D plot only.

I have differential equation with x as independent variable that I want to convert to state space representation.

But DynamicSystems will not accept y(x) as the output variable, since it defaults to y(t).

Help under "Description of the Model of a Linear System Object" says it is possible to change the independent variable by changing continuoustimevar setting. But help does not give an example how to do this and all my tries failed.

How to do this? Attached is worksheet showing the problem

Using t=0 .. 3*Pi the plot is truncated. Changing the 3*Pi to a number, then the full plot shows.

Also keeping 3*Pi but changing y=-1..1 to y=-1.01 .. 1.01 now the full plot shows again.

Is the above normal behaviour or it it a bug?

Given two terms in expression of type  `+` where the first is rational and the second is not, I wanted to combine both under on common denominator to obtain one term (not `+` any more).

I expected that combine will do that.

restart;
expr:=A/B+C;
combine(expr);

But the above leaves the original expression as is. Ofcourse I can just do

numer(expr)/denom(expr);

Here is screen shot

My question is why combine does not do that automatically? For reference, Mathematica command Together is the equivalent to Maple combine and this is what it does

Which is what one would expect to happen. 

I am just trying to understand the logic why Maple's combine did not work as one would expect. That is all. I looked at help and tried different option to combine, but non worked.
