Student[MultivariateCalculus][GetPlot] - graph a line or plane

 Calling Sequence GetPlot(l, lineopts) GetPlot(p, planeopts)

Parameters

 l - Line ; Line object defined by Student[MultivariateCalculus] p - Plane ; Plane object defined by Student[MultivariateCalculus] lineopts, planeopts - (optional) equations controlling the look of the plot

Description

 • The GetPlot command generates a graph of Line and Plane objects and their various characteristics.  For Line objects, a point on the line and the direction vector are included by default.  For Plane objects, a point on the plane and the normal vector are included by default.

Examples

 > $\mathrm{with}\left(\mathrm{Student}[\mathrm{MultivariateCalculus}]\right):$
 > $\mathrm{l1}:=\mathrm{Line}\left(\left[1,7,4\right],⟨5,4,2⟩\right):$
 > $\mathrm{GetPlot}\left(\mathrm{l1}\right)$
 > $\mathrm{GetPlot}\left(\mathrm{l1},'\mathrm{caption}'="My first line"\right)$
 > $\mathrm{GetPlot}\left(\mathrm{l1},'\mathrm{vectoroptions}'=\left['\mathrm{width}'=\frac{1}{2},'\mathrm{shape}'='\mathrm{harpoon}','\mathrm{color}'='\mathrm{red}'\right],'\mathrm{lineoptions}'=\left['\mathrm{color}'='\mathrm{green}'\right],'\mathrm{showpoint}'='\mathrm{false}'\right)$
 > $\mathrm{p1}:=\mathrm{Plane}\left(\left[4,3,-1\right],⟨-5,2,5⟩\right):$
 > $\mathrm{GetPlot}\left(\mathrm{p1}\right)$
 > $\mathrm{GetPlot}\left(\mathrm{p1},'\mathrm{shownormal}'=\mathrm{false}\right)$
