I wote a command that creates a plot with a single point:

plots[pointplot](a*[1, 1])

Before hitting Enter I called the context menu and chose Explore. As I change the parameter a the point remains fixed in the picture but the scales change. I wanted the opposite: the scales should stay fixed and the point should move. How can I do this using Explore or in some other way? I would like to see the point move as I drag a slider control.

Thanks for the help.

I created a new Document with a single command:

A=1

Then I right-clicked on the command and chose Explore from the context menu and then clicked on the Explore button in the dialog box. A rectangle with a slider appeared. So far so good.  However, I cannot delete the rectangle from my Document. I tried to select the rectangle and press Delete, Ctrl+Delete, and to right-click on it and choose Cut from the menu. Nothing works.

If I select both the rectangle and the command A=1 all the three actions described above also fail to delete anything.

Help will be appreciated.

Using Maple 2016, I created a new Document with one line:

A=(1,2,3)

Right-clicking on this expression I thought I could choose Assign to a Name, as is done in Clickable Calculus Series - Part 3: Multivariate Calculus, found here:

However, Assign to a Name does not appear in the context menu.

On the other hand, if I write

B=1,2,3

(with no parentheses) and right-click on this expression then Assign to a Name does appear in the context menu.

Any insights on this?

Thanks. 

I know that whattype() is used to find the basic data type of an expression. Unfortunately that information is rarely useful. How can I dig down deeper and get Maple to tell me more about the expression?

I read somewhere that there is a properties() procedure that does that but I cannot find that procedure.

Thanks.

I am just starting with Maple 18 on Windows 8.1. I did not like the default color palette for 2D graphs and tried another one. So I edited my maple.ini file, which was in
