Can anyone explain the following (in Maple 11):

>maptype(set,evalf,[2.2222]);

 returns   [2.2]

whereas

>evalf([2.2222]);

 returns [2.2222]

My reading of the help page is that if [2.2222]  is not of type set (which it isn't) then maptype should return evalf([2.2222]);   It would seem that in this context, evalf is acting as evalf[2] independent of the prevailing Digits.

Some time ago, I confronted the usefullness of the Table element of Maplets, and found out it was something marely to show data that was known on design time, no posibility to dinamicly inject data on it for example on a result table after a process, but in the past days I met MatrixBuilder, on the Student, LinearAlbegra package, and I wonder first if that is a maplet, and second, if that is a table element, I tried to crack on the source code of it, but no info came out.

Someone knows what is this window? or if someone is able to crack the source can show me the table part?

I'd like to suggest that someone with administrative access monitor this site on non-business days. Quite a few times now this site has gone down on a Friday evening and not been available until the following Monday morning. Or if this is actually scheduled maintenance then perhaps that could be announced.

 

i have a computer with windows Vista and i saw that maple 7 doesn't work on vista.

so,I wonder if maple 7 worksheets and .mpl files can be read on maple 12 which works with Vista.

 

When you highlight an equation in Maple and drag it to another program, a word processor for example, a small image of it is produced. It would be great to be able to select the format and resolution of these images. Specifically, it would be nice to be able to choose from jpg, gif, or a pdf clipping, and to choose compression levels and resolution, whether or not to include a background mask (or just the text itself), and how much margin to add to the clipping.

When I click on the help menu, Maple hangs for a second or two (spinning beach ball) before it shows the menu. None of the other menus exhibit this behavior, and the help system opens very quickly if I use the button on the button bar, rather than the menu. Is anyone else experiencing this? Any workarounds? Thanks, Paul ps, MacBook Pro, 2GB ram, OS X 10.5.2, 320GB hard drive.

Upgrading to Leopard introduced some conflicts with Maple 10 and 11, apparently arising from the new Java implementation. There are a few threads in this forum which address most of the issues. However, one has, for me, persisted, and I haven't seen it addressed anywhere else online, so I figured it might be good to start a topic.

We are pleased to announce that the winner of the monthly Maple Mentors Award for May is Dr. Aleksandrs Mihailovs (aka alec).  Dr. Mihailovs will receive a prize of his choice to thank him for his involvement with the MaplePrimes community.

Congratulations...and keep on posting!

...and the only way I found to recover is to kill Maple.

I notice that when I am in Help and select something in quotes, such as "Teal", the editor will select only Teal, not "Teal", when I double-click Teal. This is what I expect.

If you're writing an external library to be called from Maple, then you have the following problem. The user wants to interrupt your code. They are valiantly pressing control-C or the stop button in the Maple GUI, as your code grinds their machine to a halt. What do you do ?

Hi everyone, i've got a strange question: I wanted to use monte carlo method to count the volume of the ball i 've choosen a [-1,-1], [1,1] square and ball of radius 1 to do it. i wrote something like this: with(Randomtools): k:=1000 Generate(list(rational(range=-1..1)+I*rational(range(-1..1),k)): map(abs,%): select(verify,%,1,'truefalse'('less_than')): evalf(nops(%)*4/k) the result is ok (3.14 in the first try ;) ), but I wanted to do a little "upgrade" and have written a little shorter formula: (now doing "abs" is not necessary) with(Randomtools): k:=1000

I have an embedded plot in View 1292_Embedded plot does not update correctly.1.0.mw on MapleNet or Download 1292_Embedded plot does not update correctly.1.0.mw
View file details

I need to use plots (I think) because I want to scale the plot image and I can't do that (as far as I know) unless I use a plot component.

BUT, I get a border around the plot. I'd like a borderless plot just like the inline plot.

What is the best way to include Maple output in this forum.  What are the steps necessary.  I use to copy the output from  my worksheet and paste it as Maple code, and it would work.  I have not been able to do this any more.  I am missing something.  Is the format Filtered HTML or Worksheet HTML?

Regards,

Georgios
