if I plot

plot(x^2,x=0..5,labels=[x,theta [°C]]);

Maple puts the C into backets. How can I avoid this?

> plot(x^2, x = 0 .. 5, labels = [x, rho*[`kg/m`^3]]);

As for legends in 3D plots: no, that option is not available. I guess you could simulate a legend to some extent with textplot3d.

Thanks for the hints!

I just wonder why it does not word with Maple11. There the whole contents of the labels are plotted in 1D - are there any different rules?

Hi,

You could also use "typeset": typeset("area in ", m^3). Unfortunately, then the m is in italics, which is typographically wrong.

typeset("area in m", ^3) does not work. Why? How can I use superscripts in labels withouth having the base in italics?

Thank you,

Ben

You don't need the quote beside the word rad in document mode. But I didn't find a way to have ^oC instead of arcdeg. Is it possible?

The simplest answer is usually the correct one...just take off the brackets :)
