in my program, I need to generate plot of solution. I only know where the initial condition x value is. So I give to plot the x range as some value around that initial condition location. But this is not perfect, since the command line script will fail if Y value happend to be too large somewhere in this range due to singularity. (This fails only in the command line print driver, not in the worksheet GUI).

I can ofcource limit the y range also, using view=[....] but I do not know how to pick best Y range  automatically in the program to show what is interesting in the plot without doing lots of analysis on the expression.

There is something called smartview which is supposed to be active by default. But it does not seem to be working too well.

Here is an example. This function blows up at value near x=Pi  due to singularity. and I want the plot to automatically limit the Y range without having to specify manually the y view.

restart;
sol:=exp(-3^(1/2)*(cos(x)-1)/sin(x)):
plot(sol,x=0..2*Pi);

So clearly "smartview" did not do it or I am not using it correctly. But it is supposed to be "active"? 

Compare the same thing with Mathematica Plot where this  is handled automatically by Plot

sol = Exp[-3^(1/2)*(Cos[x] - 1)/Sin[x]];
Plot[sol, {x, 0, 2*Pi}]

Again, I know I can do the following in Maple

plot(sol,x=0..2*Pi,view=[default,-1..20]);

The problem is that I am doing this in a program, which only gets an expression as function of x to plot, around some x location. So hard to decide what the right Y range is. It will best if Plot can determine the best view automatically.

How to use smartview to handle this? Or are there other alternative plot options for such cases?

The command line print driver is still broken in Maple.  Same code works OK in the worksheet, but gives error in command line.

restart;
p:=plot(sin(x),x=0..3,axesfont=[12,12]);
full_file_name:=cat("C:\\TMP\\tmp.ps");
plotsetup(ps,plotoutput=full_file_name);
print(p);   
plotsetup(default):

No problem in the worksheet.  When putting the above code in file t.mpl and running it from DOS command line, it gives this error

Error, invalid FONT specification

The fix is to remove axesfont=[12,12] from the plot command.

Is this known bug in Maple 2021.1 on windows 10?

I do not know why int() on this integrand fails always first time, and works second time it is called. seems like something is not loaded correctly first time?

integrand:=(((-3*x^2-18*x-27)*exp(2)^2+(30*x^3+330*x^2+1170*x+1350)*exp(2)-75*x^4-1200*x^3-7050*x^2-18000*x-16875)*ln(x)+(12*x^2+54*x+81)*exp(2)^2+(-120*x^3-1106*x^2-3510*x-4050)*exp(2)+225*x^4+3560*x^3+20990*x^2+54000*x+50625)/((3*x^4+18*x^3+27*x^2)*exp(2)^2+(-30*x^5-330*x^4-1170*x^3-1350*x^2)*exp(2)+75*x^6+1200*x^5+7050*x^4+18000*x^3+16875*x^2):

print("First time");
int(integrand,x);

print("second time");
int(integrand,x);

Worksheet attached.

Update

Here is a movie. it is few minutes long. This happens by random and not each time. This movie shows the command starting from "restart" are repated 4 times. First two times, no error. Then the error shows up.  So it is random. Maybe it depends if Maple is busy with other things or not. I have each worksheet set to use its own server though. So I have no idea why this happens sometimes and not other times.

I think there is a problem here

restart;
the_integrand:=(((-2*x^2+2)*exp(exp(exp(3)))^2+(4*x^3-4*x)*exp(exp(exp(3)))-2*x^4-6*x^2+8)*exp(ln(x)-x^2)*ln(exp(exp(exp(3)))^2-2*x*exp(exp(exp(3)))+x^2+4)+((2*x^2-2)*exp(2)*exp(exp(exp(3)))^2+((-4*x^3+4*x)*exp(2)-2*x)*exp(exp(exp(3)))+(2*x^4+6*x^2-8)*exp(2)+2*x^2)*exp(ln(x)-x^2))/(exp(exp(exp(3)))^2-2*x*exp(exp(exp(3)))+x^2+4);

int(the_integrand,x,method=_RETURNVERBOSE)

#try MeijerG
int(the_integrand,x,method=MeijerG);

gives

I do not know if this known or not.

Maple 2021.1 on windows

This is Maple 2021.1 on windows.

===================
restart;
expr:=x^(6+1/3);
res:=series(expr,x=0,6);
==============

gives
        O(x^(19/3))

But type of the above is not series:

===========
type(res,'series');
        false
===========

Yet convert(res,polynom) works

================
convert(res,polynom)
          0
================

Which is correct conversion. But help says that

"convert/polynom
convert a series to polynomial form"

Notice, it says "series" there.

So the input must be type series. But Maple says
O(x^(19/3)) is not type series. I think this is wrong. The
type returned should be series. Now the type returned is 'function'
from the series command.

What Am I overlooking here?
