Maple 2021 Questions and Posts

Maybe I am missing something here. Maybe it's just a new feature?

I have just installed Maple 2021 on Mac.

A simple sheet, using simplify-simplify to get units right.

Sometimes Maple doesn't update result when pressing Enter.

Sometimes Maple doesn't give any result when pressing Enter.

First everything ok:

Then I change a to 5 m. Pressing Enter on all three lines gives:

The value of A is not updated.

If I then delete the 'simplify 9 m^2' and presses Enter on the line with A:=a*b, there is no output?

Pressing Enter on blue line, no output.

 

Reviewing the help Physics Examples worksheet Section 1, subsection 5 a transformation between cartesion and spherical coordinates is defined using the command ChangeCoordinates from the Physics[Vectors] package. This command is described briefly as follows in the Updates, Maple 2015, Physics page:

"New command: ChangeCoordinates, to rewrite an algebraic expression, using Cartesian, cylindrical, and spherical coordinates, an expression that involves these coordinates, either a scalar expression, or vectorial one but then not changing the orthonormal basis."

However, when I use the link to the ChangeCoordinates help page, the link simply loops back to the Updates, Maple 2015, Physics page.  Is there a specific help page for the ChangeCoordinates command?

Maple 2021.1/Windows 10.

When entering 2d expressions into the bottom line of a worksheet, i.e. at the bottom of the window, I can't see the underscores used to indicate bracketing.

A workaround is to use ^J to get another input prompt at the bottom of the window.

Is there some way to get a bigger margin at the bottom of the window?

Cheers,

Steve.

I am trying to export a 3D plot from Maple (2021) in a vector format that can be imported into Adobe Illustrator without too much trouble. The graphic artist says the PDF files are not useful (“at the base of every PDF is an image file, inside layers and layers of clipping paths; not helpful”). “SVG does not appear to produce usable vectors – well, maybe not, but the one you sent me was super difficult to wrangle”. She had hoped that EPS would be useful, but she was unable to open the EPS file I created (not enough memory).

Here is the example that I have been using as I've asked others for help with this question.

restart;
with(plots);
with(plottools);

T := torus([0, 0, 0], 1/2, 1/2);
C0 := spacecurve([cos(t), sin(t), 0], t = 0 .. 2*Pi, color = red, thickness = 9);
C1 := spacecurve([0.5*cos(t), 0.5*sin(t), 0.5], t = 0 .. 2*Pi, color = red, thickness = 9);
C2 := spacecurve([0.5*(1 + cos(t)), 0, 0.5*sin(t)], t = 0 .. Pi, color = blue, thickness = 9);
C3 := spacecurve([0.5*(-1 + cos(t)), 0, 0.5*sin(t)], t = 0 .. Pi, color = blue, thickness = 9);
Fig9510 := display([T, C0, C1, C2], view = [DEFAULT, DEFAULT, 0 .. 1/2], scaling = constrained, transparency = 0.75);

Direct links to the worksheet and the PDF, EPS, and SVG files on DropBox are provide below in the hope that something will be useful to somebody. (MaplePrimes links are provided for the MW and PDF files are also provided - but EPS and SVG files are not permitted.)

This question has been asked for more than ten years. The best solution to has been to use the command-line-interface version of Maple.

  1. Is the command-line interface still the best/only option for vector-based graphics output?
  2. If so, how do i access the command-line version of Maple 2021 on MacOS?

There seems to be an "issue" when using a indexed name (say x[4]) as the loop index in a seq() mul() or add() command - the indexed name is assigned once the command exits!!

This never(?) happens if the loop index is not an indexed name. A bug??

See the attached which illustrates the issue for the add() command, where x[4] is assigned on exit from add(). The same thing happens if add() is replaced with seq() or mul()

  restart;

#
# x[4] should not be assigned on exit from add() !!
#
  add( u(x[4]), x[4]=1..10);
  x[4];
#
# x__4 is not assigned on exit from add()
#
  add( u(x__4), x__4=1..10);
  x__4;
#
# j is not assigned on exit from add()
#
  add( u(j), j=1..10);
  j;

u(1)+u(2)+u(3)+u(4)+u(5)+u(6)+u(7)+u(8)+u(9)+u(10)

u(1)+u(2)+u(3)+u(4)+u(5)+u(6)+u(7)+u(8)+u(9)+u(10)

 

x__4

 

u(1)+u(2)+u(3)+u(4)+u(5)+u(6)+u(7)+u(8)+u(9)+u(10)

My PC is dual-booted (Win10 and Ubuntu 20.04+KDE). After creating a plot (even the simplest one) and enabling Probe Info as described in  https://www.maplesoft.com/support/help/maple/view.aspx?path=worksheet%2Fplotinterface%2Fpointprobei I do not see tooltip with cursor position. All other tooltips (Palettes, Toolbar etc.) work fine, it is only the probe Info tooltip that does not work. The same plot done while running Maple on Win10 works as expected - tooltip is visible. 

Can someone confirm whether it works for them using Linux? I wonder whether this could be Java-related problem when running on Linux KDE with compositing and using Nvidia driver (e.g. color of tooltip is white on white, or rendering does not work as expected).

I do not remember whether it ever worked on Linux. At this moment I am using Maple2021 but for testing purposes I reinstalled Maple2020 and the problem is the same.

Thanks,

Alex

Hi, when I tried the simple example of Java OpenMaple on Mac, I can compile the code but couldn't run it. It complained about not finding libjopenmaple.jnilib. I checked that library directory, there was /libjopenmaple.jnilib but not libmaplec.dylib. Any suggestions?

Since I installed Maple 2021 I have noticed a problem with the left corner of the menu and toolbar.  See the screenshot attached. I don't know if this is a general problem in Win10 or is this a problem with my installation.

Unsolved for Maple?

Thanks for reading.

I am just evaluating Maple 2021 under Windows 10 and I have something strange happening when I press F1 for Help or I select Maple Help in Help Menu. The first time the help window will appear but if I close it then impossible to view it again by pressing F1 or by selecting it in the Help menu. Also the same for other choices in the help menu like

Maple Help F1
Maple Portal
Study Guides
What's New

But any choices inside On the web will always work.

I am using Windows 10 latest release in french and the keyboard layout in ENG I don't think it is related but just in case someone ask me.

Have you notice the same problem ?

Hi all, 

When I open up Maple the toolbar which says insert: 'Math, Text etc' has disappeared. However sometimes when I restart the program the tool bar re-appears again. I have attached a screenshot have a look. I want to know is anyone else experiencing this in Maple 2021? 

Hi.

I experience "broken links" in Maple. That is when I've used the the search field Alt+S or visited the help pages, very often thereafter I have to restart Maple in order to use e.g. the Help again, a task or whatever is essentially a link. Is this a known problem in Maple and if what do I do remedy it.
Thanks in advance.


 

Instead of the nice output from the help, I get the following message:

Comparing the following 2 outputs, all done using worksheet mode. They are same expression. But one is generated using assignment and one using function definition (with arrow).

restart;
expr:=sinh(Pi)/Pi*(1+  Sum( (-1)^n/(1+n^2)*(cos(n*x)+n*sin(n*x)),n=1..m)):
f1:=expr;
f2:=unapply(expr,x);

Why Maple 2D display shows small dot for multiplication in the second case, but not in the first? Is there a way to remove this dot? I do not like it and find it distracting.  I looked at options->display and see nothing there to affect this.

 

Maple 2021 on windows 10

 

I run Maple on two different computers each with 2 4k monitors running Windows 10 Pro.  Everything appears to work fine on one computer but on the other one, the display gets corrupted when moving the mouse under certain conditions.  I have eliminated the mouse and the video card as the problem because the same problem occurs after replacing them with other manufacturers components.  I have a document that generates a few plots that I can run from both computers.  At first all seems fine and the mouse can be moved across the display and plots without corruption.  But as soon as I try to enable any "Probe Info" via right clicking a plot or from the side pane when the plot is selected, moving the mouse over the plot will cause a continuous corruption that continuous to change as I move the mouse.  The only way I have found to recover from this is to close Maple and resart it.

It appears the problem has to do with redrawing the display after the mouse moves.  Below is an example:

Has anyone experienced this?

Thank you, David
