Hello, I checked and I see that the name of the file that you uploaded is "poole-5.5-exercises-35-38.mw" I'm pretty sure that the problem is that the filename has a dot in it. I renamed your file and uploaded it again. This gives me the links, here they are: View 1_poole-5_5-exercises-35-38.mw on MapleNET or Download 1_poole-5_5-exercises-35-38.mw I will look into fixing the file manager so that it handles a dot in the filename. ____ William Spaetzel Marketing Engineer, Maplesoft

Try using plottools[disk] this gives you a filled in circle where you can define the radius, below I give an example

> radius:=0.05: points:=[[0,0],[1,1],[3,2],[-1,2] ]: plots[display]([seq(plottools[disk](points[i],radius), i=1..nops(points) )] , scaling=constrained);
