How do I ...? with Maple

Hi Everyone!

I want to export several Figures with Maple at the same time. I tried

with(plots):

for i from 1 to 5 do
interface(plotdevice=ps, plotoutput=`c:/test||i.eps`, plotoptions=`color,portrait,

noborder,width=16cm,height=12cm`);
plot(cos(i*x), x = -5..5);
interface(plotdevice=inline);

od:

but it did not work. How can I create one file per Figure?

Thanks a lot,

Bernardo

quote placement

The quote placement in `c:/test||i.eps` is not right. You might have meant something like,

> for i from 1 to 3 do
>   "c:/test/"||i||".eps";
> end do;
                                "c:/test/1.eps"

                                "c:/test/2.eps"

                                "c:/test/3.eps"

or,

> for i from 1 to 3 do
>   `c:/test/`||i||`.eps`;
> end do;
                                 c:/test/1.eps

                                 c:/test/2.eps

                                 c:/test/3.eps

If you place name quotes around the Maple || concatenation operator and the i then it won't do anything. Also, you were probably missing a / directory separator.

hmmm, it seems to be not

hmmm, it seems to be not working. Let me try to say it again:

I want to export plots to the root c:\ of my PC, no directories involved. Since I want to export more than 1 plot, I want to create a loop that gives different names to each file: test1.eps, test2.eps, test3.eps, test4.eps and test5.eps.

I tried to incorporate your suggestions concerning the quotes but It did not work. BTW, I use Maple 11:

with(plots):
>
> for i from 1 to 5 do
> interface(plotdevice=ps, plotoutput="c:/test"||i||".eps", plotoptions=`color,portrait,noborder,width=16cm,height=12cm`);
> plot(cos(i*x), x = -5..5);
> interface(plotdevice=inline);
>
> od;

It generated 5 files but no Adobve Illustrator could not open the files.

What can be wrong?

Thanks,

Bernardo

worked for me

This worked for me, using Maple 11.02.

> for i from 1 to 5 do
> plotsetup(ps, plotoutput="/tmp/test"||i||".eps",
>   plotoptions=`color,portrait,noborder,width=16cm,height=12cm`);
> plot(cos(i*x), x = -5..5);
> plotsetup(inline);
> end do;

I did it on Linux, and used /tmp/ as the base location. Modify the location for Windows accordingly. (Try backslash, perhaps?) The .eps files that came out were OK.
