3d plot ->eps

It does by (right click) Context-Sensitive Menu/ Export/ Encapsulated Postscript, not by File/ Export As .

Hi I agree that

I agree that this works with some graphs. I worked with a simple 2 plot. When I do the same with a 3d plot with a lot "data" it does not export it as a vectorized picture. The following example cannot be exported:

CEQ1.9875000000*(exp(I*Pi*(1/2-(0.1250065125e-1*I)/Pi)))^2+1.012500000;
plot3d([subs(abs(CEQ1))], lambda = -1/2 .. 10*(1/2), epsilon = -.3 .. .7, axes = boxed, grid = [70, 70]);

Hi Robert This also saves

Hi Robert

This also saves the image to something that looks like a very hard compressed jpeg picture.

Could someone please try this exampl:

> P;

The two above mentioned methods for exporting eps pictures works only for simpler graphs.

In Classic Worksheet Maple 13

It does well in Classic Worksheet Maple 13.

PostScript export

You might try using Classic rather than Standard GUI, and exporting programmatically using plotsetup rather than from the menu. Thus:

> P:= plot3d(whatever):
  plotsetup(eps, plotoutput="c:/mypath/myplot.eps",plotoptions=
   "portrait,noborder,height=3in,width=3in,leftmargin=0in,bottommargin=0in");
  P;
  plotsetup(default);
