Right input for Spacecurve, but just wont graph.

How do I ...? with Maple (Student)

> f := proc (t) options operator, arrow; [t+1, 2-2t, 3-3t] end proc; spacecurve(f(t), t = 0 .. 1, axes = boxed, scaling = constrained, color = orange);

^^^^^^^ that is from copying and pasting from the maple.

otherwise it'd look more like this

> f:=t->[t+1,2-2t,3-3t];
spacecurve(f(t),t=0..1,scaling=constrained, axes=boxed,color=blue);

So... when i pressed enter it did nto do anything but retype the equation.

I need it to graph, I know this input is right because I looked at the teacher's example and it made a graph, but when I copy and pasted the teacher's example there were no graph. I believe this maybe mean that I need to do some setting changes maple, but where?

package member

spacecurve is a member of the plots package. You can access it with the long name:

plots:-spacecurve(...);

or call with to permit accessing it with the shortname:

with(plots):
spacecurve(...);
