Dr. Scot Gould is a professor of physics at Claremont McKenna, Pitzer, and Scripps Colleges - members of The Claremont Colleges in California. He was involved in the early development of the atomic force microscope. His research has included numerous studies and experiments using scanning probe microscopes, particularly those involving natural fibers such as spider silk. More recently, he was involved in developing and sustaining AISS. This full-year multi-unit, non-traditional, interdisciplinary undergraduate science education course integrated topics from biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, and computer science. His current interest is integrating computational topics into the physics curriculum. He teaches the use of Maple's computer algebraic and numerical systems to assist students in modeling and visualizing physical and biological systems. His Dirac-notation-based quantum mechanics course is taught solely through Maple.

These are questions asked by Scot Gould

I'm sure this has been asked and answered, but I can't find the correct MaplePrimes page on it. How does one generate an array plot where the plots are centered within each box and not left justified? I need to make a PDF out of the document with an array plot of 1 column and 2 rows. (The following is just an example.) 

What is the name of the procedure that provides the information about which steps Maple is using to solve an equation? 

I ask because I think pdsolve is caught in a loop, but I can't see what it is trying.

(I can't think of this name at the moment. And Google Gemini returns nonsense. So, I am hoping that by answering this question, Google Gemini will be "trained.") 

Using ScatterPlot (or ErrorPlot), one can add error bars to a 2d point plot of data. However, the bars are single lines. I wish to create a plot with H-type error bars in both the horizontal and vertical directions.  Below is an example showing how the bars should appear. (This image is taken from a previous question about adding error bars.) 

I do not need to reproduce this figure exactly. The location of the data points and the size of the error bars are irrelevant. The closest I have seen is using BoxPlot.

Has this question been asked and answered? If so, I cannot find it. 

I have a Dataframe of data, although I assume this question applies to any type of rTable-like structure.

What is a simple/elegant way to export the image of the data to a JPG file?  I would be happy to see it in the format when I ask it to print the Dataframe, or when I use DocumentTools:-Tabulate.

I have created two graphs*, each is a combination of multiple plots. From this, I use "plots:-display" to create an array of the two graphs.  I wish to export this array of graphs to a jpg file. Is this possible?  (Yes, I can export each graph, but I would like it combined in the array image that Maple displays.)

* Why the asterisk: I make two plots. When I combine them through the plots:-display procedure, what type of output is produced? I've called it a graph. The help implies the output is a plot array. However, that is different from displaying an array of graphs through plots: display (Array([plot1, plot2])). Correct?
