Question: Can I reverse the directions of plot axes in Maple 2016?

Question:Can I reverse the directions of plot axes in Maple 2016?

As a geotechnical engineer, much of what I calculate relates to depth or settlement.  Which, by tradition, is signed as positive in the vertically down direction.  Hence, I want to be able to produce graphs with positive y-values (e.g. depth, settlement, etc.) plotted in the downward direction (effectively, all I want to do is simply reverse the direction of the y-axis).  One workaround is to simply multiply all y values by -1 before plotting.  But this isn't ideal (as the values show as negative).  I've had a look through the documentation and haven't found a clean way of doing this.  Is anyone able to confirm whether its possible?  Or am I wasting my time looking?  Thanks in anticipation, Ian
