Maple 12: multiple curves on same plot; variable names w subscripts

To help me learn Maple 12, I decided to translate a small project that I did into Maple.

1. Why is there an error in my text field at the beginning of the doc?

2. When I apply a new style to a paragraph, all the text changes to plain text: all formatting is removed. Is there a way to simply change the style and not the formatting, such as Italic?

3. I tried to follow the instructions in one of the training videos on how to hide math. As you can see, the assignment to d is still visible. Can simple assignments be hidden?
the doc creation video shows how to hide stuff in a doc
  insert a new doc block
  select Format | Remove doc block OR r-c the doc block markers and remove the block
  type in some desc
  add Maple input prompts as needed and put commands there
  select the section, Format | Create Doc Block - lines of code are now hidden

4. How can I plot points and circles on the same plot?

5. Is there an easy way to do this (4.) in document mode?

6. I'd like to have a variable called Lx where x is the subscript that is part of the name, not an array index. How can I do this? I tried just making it a subscript, but executing the document changed it back.

7. Why won't the axis limits stay where I put them when I execute the doc? Am I really going to have this monstrous line describing my plot in detail?

Maple 12: variable names w subscript; hide elements

Comment on 2008-05-19 21:00 from woodwise (Maple Rating 1 65)

Thanks to MaplePrimes and search engines, I'm making progress. Still don't know why there are two methods of declaring multiple plots

<pre>

plots[display](plot1, plot2) << this worked for me

display({P1,P2,P3}); << this didn't

</pre>

I still can't hide some elements; maybe they can't be hidden?

...and I can't make part of my caption bold ("Figure 1."). Trying gets me a result that I don't understand.

plots[display] is the long name, you can use just 'display' if previously did

I can't explain why you get an error with your heading:

Document to test Maple document capabilities; there are keywords here even though this is a text section: how does one type in regular words in text?

Highlight the text above, then right click and select "Convert to Plain Text".  This seems to get rid of the "reserved word" error.  Why is comes up to begin with, I do not know.  I rarely use the GUI interface, except when I need some plotting functionality that I can not get with Classic.  Otherwise, I avoid it.  It gets in my way.  Good luck with the rest of your worksheet.  If I see something obvious (to me) I will let you know.

text section?

Exporting As > Maple input (.mpl) produces:

Document to test Maple document capabilities; there are keywords here even though this is a text section: how does one type in regular words in text?
`output redirected...`print(); # input placeholder
# http://pubpages.unh.edu/~rlo9/
# Thisis a port of an earlier project to help me learn Maple 12.

So, this section does seem to have been generated as ordinary text.

Thanks, Georgios. I did as you suggested and the error disappeared. I am still mystified. It might be something to submit to Maple for analysis when I figure out how.

Thanks, Tim,

I might give that a try. I'm new enough that I don't know what is a Maple error and what is my own lack of knowledge. I hate to bother tech support with something I'm supposed to know. Looks like this one might be worth submitting.
