Labelling axes with symbols in plots

Hi,

Having got to grips with the basics of Maple TA, I'm now getting fussy over details! I've been authoring using LaTeX, and I've hit a problem with plotting.

I have put the following code in the question text:

\drawMaplePlot*[300][300]{
plot( sin(x), x=-3.5..3.5,-1..1,tickmarks=[[-Pi=-Pi,0=0,Pi=Pi],[1,0,-1]] )
}

but the tickmarks command doesn't seem to work properly. Where I expect to see Pi and -Pi labelled on the axes using the actual pi symbol, I just get the text:

The documentation for Maple TA says that the tickmarks option should work, and when I run that plot command in Maple 11 I get this:

I should also point out that I can't just use a static image, because the function being plotted is randomised in the question.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

MapleTA version?

What version of MapleTA are you using? What version of Maple is it accessing? If I had to guess, I'd guess your MapleTA is not accessing Maple 11.

That was my first thought

That was my first thought too, but it turns out that our Maple TA is using Maple 11 (build 277223) which is the same as the desktop version of Maple I used for the second plot.

Maple TA itself is "Maple T.A. 3.01 Build Date: Nov 30, 09:39 AM (EST)".

The only difference is that I'm using Windows whereas the server is using Linux.

Hello, Maple T.A.'s plot

Hello,

Maple T.A.'s plot driver cannot render all the finer details of a worksheet plot. However, Maple T.A. 4.0 will give you the option of hooking into MapleNet, which supports much finer plot control, including the ability to label axes with symbols. Please note that MapleNet is a separate product that would need to be installed before it can be accessed by Maple T.A.

Thanks. Do you know when Maple TA 4.0 is due for release?
