x=-10..10 is the plot default range. If you don't enter the range, Maple is using the default range.

What is your suggestion?

Some of these Test Tools are quite interesting. For example,

showstat(TestTools:-Info);

TestTools:-Info := proc()
   1   info
end proc

That's understandable though. Some other things, such as exporting i, for instance, is not that easy to understand.

It doesn't work, apparently, with variables inside B. %s seem to be OK,

X:=B(-1.+10^(-110010));

    X := -0.11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111000

X1:=B(1+%);
                                                                 -49
 X1 := 0.10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 10

X2:=B(%*%%);

  X2 := -0.11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111000

          -50
        10

Here is another simple example with a wrong answer if B is applied to an expression including variable names,

B(10+100);

                                 110

a,b:=10,100;

                           a, b := 10, 100

B(a+b);

                               1101110

convert(%,decimal,binary);

                                 110

It would be interesting to add a possibility of using variables inside B.

Assumptions might help. In the latter example,

B(a+b) assuming integer;

                                 110

In the Axel Vogt's example,

x:=evalhf(-1+2^(-50));

                      x := -0.99999999999999912

Digits:=53: X:=B(x);

    X := -0.11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111000

X1:=B(1+X) assuming float;
                                                                 -49
 X1 := 0.10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 10

X2a:=B(X*%) assuming float;

  X2a := -0.11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111000

          -50
        10

X2b:=B(X*X1) assuming float;

  X2b := -0.11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111000

          -50
        10

Doesn't seem to work for fractions though.

I should say that Maple is not alone. Mathematica, MuPad, and Sage have the same property. Python is different - it also has bugs, but not in every piece that I use.

Paulina,

Thank you!

For some unknown reason, everything that I touch in Maple, has a bug in it.

But it is not what the help page says. It says "captions", and the "caption" is not even mentioned.

Also, it is said there: "By default, captions will be set to 1, 2, 3, etc."

How to interpret that if there is only one caption?

For example,

BoxPlot(data1,captions=["first"]);
BoxPlot([data1,data2],captions=["first","second"]);

No captions in both cases.

I just tried that in Maple 13 and 32-bit Windows Vista, in both Classic and Standard. I've accessed it remotely, but I don't think that that makes any difference.

It uses Maple kernel, so the differences with Maple are not that big. Plotting is slightly different, but rather convenient for usual purposes.

In Maple 11, you could also use zip to avoid typing the recolor command several times,

plots:-display(zip(recolor,[p1,p2],[red,yellow]));
