ABSTRACT

The resulting plot appears in Figure 6.1. Observe that in maple the plot actually appears in the current document.

Click on the maple plot with the left mouse button. A rectangle should now border the plot. You will notice eight dots: one in each corner and one at the midpoint of each side. The dots mark positions for resizing the plot. Move the mouse on the dot in the bottom right corner. A little appears. Try stretching the plot display into a different shape. Notice also that the menu bar and the context bar have changed. The menu bar consists of the File, Edit, View, Format, Style, Legend, Axes, Projection, Animation, Export, Window, and Help menus. The context bar has changed completely. There should be a small window containing a pair of coordinates and nine new buttons. Try clicking on each button to see its effect.
