These pages are an 'On-Line' tutorial that demonstrate Maple's strong Graphics and Animations capabilities. This collection of easy to follow examples gives tips and suggestions to let you explore more advanced plotting of your work. The examples have been split into 2 main parts: An Introduction and Advanced Plotting.

  Maple Graphics & Animations I: Introduction

Section Ia: Setting Default Plot Options; Scaling a Plot; Plotting Basic Spacecurves; Plotting Closed Spacecurves; Tubeplots.

Section Ib: Plotting Basic Surface (3D) Plots; Window Size; Flexibility in Plot Range; 3D Plot Scaling; Example of Hilly Landscapes.

Section Ic: Parametric Surfaces and Other Coordinates; Using the Plot Color Functions.

Section Id: Advanced Plotting: Overlaying Plots/Simulation of the Solar System.
Section Ie: Curve Lying in a Surface; Plotting a Vase; Two Intersecting Surfaces.
