There is a mistake somewhere

findall("speak",s",5,5)

                                       table([5 = ("speak", "passe")])

passe shouldn't be there, speak doesn't contain 2 s's

A great word database is sowpods.zip a scrabble dictionary of 267,751 words as compared to the builtin of 25,950 which hasn't changed since at least Maple 9.

Okay thanks acer.  No reference to Unix on the help page had me confused.

These posts are very interesting.  Can someone explain why the last half on the help page of PatternDictionary doesn't work?  That is the part where it says "You can replace the small built-in dictionary with a better word list. "  Converting it to a worksheet and executing the commands results in errors which, really, shouldn't happen.

I don't have a directory called /usr/share/dict/words and there is no explanation.  Do I make one?  Where do I put it?  Is it something that existed in a historical version of maple that is no longer included? 

As far as I know everything in the help page should work and if not then sufficient documentation should be included to explain. 

It works in M12.  But it could be that your firewall may be preventing a connection.  I just tried it, and it does work.

Using plottools you'll need to use Pagan's suggestion and create another object simulating the axes.

Using animate maple will always rotate an object from the center of the viewing limits. So we just set your minimum point values for x and y at the center of the range.  Using the xsol and ysol from your branched thread we simply have

animate(plot3d,[P,x=xsol-5..xsol+5,y=ysol-5..ysol+5,orientation=[A,90]],A=0..360)

or

f:=5
animate(plot3d,[P,xsol-f..xsol+f,y=ysol-f..ysol+f,orientation=[A,90]],A=0..360)

which animates your paraboloid with the axes rotating around a z-axes centered on your minimum with a range from your minimum specified by f.

As for a bigger graph, is this what you were thinking http://www.mapleprimes.com/questions/80945-How-To-Change-The-Plot-Inline-Window-Size-

How about rotating objects about their relative centers offset from the central viewing axis?

Thank you.  I couldn't remember what it was.

So, curiously, how can it be done more neatly?

We would have to start with a hypothetical model being that it would be more acceptable.  Yes the facts could be faulty as I did not verify nor pull from multiple sources and studies.  I did mention a lot of factors were missing and not mentioning employment is one of them. 

You're idea that some sort of predator/prey model would be similar is something I thought about as well albeit a much more complicated system.

It is obvious in a globally defined system that 100% stays within the sytem.  What I meant was, to see what happens to locally defined groups on a global scale ... that is making local boundaries become transparent so goods are able to be tracked (an outside observer).  As compared to things that might dissappear and reappear magically to a local observer.
