      <itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;You can add the argument style=point. Then at least the points found are shown.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The disappearance of the the two lines satisfying the equation for values less than 5 can be seen in this animation:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;animate(implicitplot,[sqrt(x^2+y^2)-sqrt((x-4)^2+(y-3)^2)=a, x =-20 .. 20, y = -20 .. 20, gridrefine=2],a=4.9..5);&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Is it not rather a weakness than a bug?&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

      <title>It is not a workaround</title>

      <itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mapleprimes.com/posts/137046-Bug-In-Implicitplot-Command#comment137058"&gt;@Kitonum&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;Thank you for the interest to the post and your code. In my opinion, it is difficult to treat &lt;br&gt;that as a workaround. The mashinery of the bug is still unclear. The printlevel:= 15 command &lt;br&gt;shows that Maple creates some&amp;nbsp; Array(1..155,1..2,datatype=float[8]) &lt;a href="/view.aspx?sf=137067/442272/printlevel.mw"&gt;printlevel.mw&lt;/a&gt; .&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="hps"&gt;I agree that the machinery of the bug &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="hps"&gt;is still&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="hps"&gt;unclear.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="hps"&gt;But&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="hps"&gt;why my code&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="hps"&gt;can not be treated&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="hps"&gt;as&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="hps"&gt;a workaround&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="hps"&gt;Here's&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="hps"&gt;another&amp;nbsp;variant&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="hps"&gt;for any&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="hps"&gt;range&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
