For illustrative purposes. I do not know about the .mpeg, but you can export as a gif, and embed that into your PowerPoint.

Download plot3danimate.mw

Right click on the plot, and select Export-GIF. Then you can open this GIF, and it will look like the animated plot above. See ?animate for more help on this.

?orientation

See help for ?plot3d/option You can modify one of the arguments to have your plot rotate around a given axis.

P := 1 + x + 1*x^2-1*y + 1*y^2 + 1*x*y ;

animate(plot3d,[P, x = -5 .. 5, y = -5 .. 5,orientation=[-47,A,-47]],A=-360..360);

rotate (Maple 13)

Adjust as desired.

restart:

P := 1 + x + 1*x^2-1*y + 1*y^2 + 1*x*y:

Q:=plot3d(P, x = -5 .. 5, y = -5 .. 5):

T:=[seq(plottools:-rotate(Q,0,0,A),A=0..evalf(2*Pi),evalf(Pi/20))]:

plots:-display(T,insequence=true,axes=box,labels=[x,y,z]);

orientation error reason + alternate

The reason for the orientation to be of type [realcons,realcons] error is because it is expecting only 2 arguments.

Maple 13 will not accept an orientation=[theta,phi,psi] that extra angle option wasn't available until Maple 14.

You can try this as an alternate for Maple 13.

plots:-animate(plot3d, [P, x = -5..5, y = -5..5, orientation=[ A, -47]], A=-360..360, axes=box, frames=100);

Thanks Christopher, It was obvious! Is

Thanks Christopher,

It was obvious!

Is it also possible to:
1) set special values in the animated graph for axes x:= -1..7 and y:=0..1 in order to have a bigger graph (like the static graph I proposed)?

2) To make the axes move with the paraboloid?

That would be great!

Not exactly what I expected

Thank you Georgios for your prompt answer.

However in the case of your polynomial, A is a variable.

In my polynomal, a, b, c, d, e, f are all constants and

I don't really know where to put the argument A to have a 0 to 2Pi rotation on the z axis.
