Problem with draw, geometry and maple help

Hi,

I wanna plot some geometrical graphics with maple (v. 11), and i'm having problems with the easiest one:

a point

If you want to plot a point, for example

<br />
with(geometry); point(p, 1, 1); draw(p(symbol = point), axes = normal, view = [-6 .. 6, -6 .. 6])<br />

Ok well, now i want maple to plot the axis, as maple help says:

globalopts: the set of options allowed for globalopts is the same as that for plot except for the adaptive and sample options.

Then i try

<br />
with(geometry); point(p, 1, 1); draw(p(symbol = point), axes = normal, view = [-6 .. 6, -6 .. 6], gridlines = true)<br />

But i get

How is that possible?
Is the maple help wrong?
How can i solved?

Thanks' align='absmiddle'>

Ok, as i used to do, i post

Ok, as i used to do, i post it wrong, the maple sentence i used is

with(geometry); point(p, 1, 1); draw(p(symbol = point), axes = normal, view = [-6 .. 6, -6 .. 6])

the one i want to use is

with(geometry); point(p, 1, 1); draw(p(symbol = point), axes = normal, view = [-6 .. 6, -6 .. 6], gridlines = true)

the error i'm getting is

Error, (in geometry:-draw) wrong options: gridlines

No, it's a bug

For some reason, geometry:-draw does its own argument checking (instead of relying on plot to do it), and it has not been updated to deal with this new option. It looks to me like the geometry package has suffered from a lot of bit-rot (at least by judging from the routine geometry:-`draw/checkopt1`).

Use display as a workround

You can always get round this with:

point(p, 1, 1); Dr:=draw(p(symbol = point), axes = normal, view = [-6 .. 6, -6 .. 6]):plots[display](Dr,gridlines=true);

I will check the status of the draw command.

Word Perfect?

I know very little about Word Perfect, but since this is a Maple forum I assume you're creating your geometric diagrams in Maple and hoping to import them into Word Perfect. Maple can produce several different types of graphics files. Assuming Word Perfect can handle .gif files, the simplest method might be

1) Produce your graph in Maple

2) Right click on the graph, choose Export, Graphics Interchange Format. Save the file with whatever name you choose.

3) Import that file into Word Perfect
