Funnily enough in a somewhat unrelated comment ... I was listening to the debaters on CBC argue for and against whether marriage or common-law was better.  Interesting stat mentioned was that 54% of first marriages end in divorce, more than 60% for the second and I think it was 80% for the third.  Then he put it in perspective and said that if you're standing on a sidewalk waiting to cross the street and knew that you only had a 54% chance of not making it would you still cross?  ie would you still make the plunge to get married? 

@nm I see.  In Maple18 it almost works as you describe.

A couple of things I notice

Within square brackets autocomplete will not autocomplete a user defined variable but it will autocomplete user defined variables in round brackets. 

In Maple 18 (document mode) autocomplete will pick up the autocomplete remove_RootOf command.  In your case for Maple 2015 I can not verify.  But also trailing characters an autocomplete bubble will not appear but esc will work.

Using the with command, some commands are not able to use autocomplete bubble until the second capital or even third capital letter of the command (an example would be some of the commands in the Finance package) another is the autocomplete won't complete until it gets to an underscore character.  This is for Maple18 again, I can't verify for Maple2015

It works fine for me.

@nm the way you describe, putting the mouse cursor after the word you are correct it does not immediately work. 

As you describe in your ealier post putting brackets and then entering the partial word autocorrect in fact DOES work even without a space before the last bracket.

If I even type the next letter just before the bracket, regardless of a space before the bracket or not, it works.

What you mean is that if you place the cursor with the mouse at that point there is no autocorrect immediately however pushing esc will insert the long_name immediately and if there is another similar autocorrect name you will be given a list. 

@Mac Dude 

What about this little bit of coding http://www.mapleprimes.com/posts/126570-Gridlines-In-3d-Space

Also for each cut we loose 1/16" to 1/8" (the blade width)

Our last calculated piece comes out exactly at 84" but we have to make 3 cuts which would make our last piece at minimum 3/16 of an inch too short.  We will have to factor that into our application somehow.

**added** easily enough, we just add the 1/8" length (actually 1/4" - two cuts per piece) to each piece we need to cut

@Carl Love Excellent!  Thanks.

Mitered corners 45 degrees, so usually add double the width of the casing per side, but that's if the framing is right at the inside edge of the frame.  Casing usually 1-1/2" so we would need to add 3" to every piece.

BinPacking1D(7*12, [[45, 4], [23, 6], [75, 4], [35, 2], [19, 2], [33, 4]]);

Luckily still only need 11 pieces so we don't need to go out and buy an extra piece :)

Is anyone able to come up with anything like this in Maple?

The challenge now, then, I suppose is to produce all those animations strictly within Maple.

Thanks for the replies.

How about the negative sign in the symbolic manipulation.  Maple's output of

can we manipulate Maple's output to show

?

I thought   ln(1/x) = -ln(x) ?  # x=b/(c-a)

I suppose lexicographical order has something to do with this.

Maple evaluates the set {d,c,f,e,g,a,b} to

which might partially explain moving the -a to the front   ln( b / (-a + c) )  since if we evaluate (nevermind the ln) b/(a-c)  maple gives us exactly that .. b / (a - c)

@jonlg 

Not near Maple right now but plot each one under a variable with desired symbol.

ie/

with(plots):
a:=poinplot(data,connect=true,symbol=circle)
b:=pointplot(data,connect=true,symbol=box)
c:=pointplot(data,connect=true, symbol=diamond)

display(a,b,c)

@Jazen1 The palettes are not hidden they are merely out of the way.  You can keep them open if you want.  The default is to have them out of the way to create a bigger workspace. 

Ironically I believe after installing Maple 18 it starts with the palettes open.  People are often confused with software they just start using.

Yes your best option is to change your system screen resolution.

Just a s a side note, I see Maple has not yet a way to orient the values in a plot other than horizontal.  I think as soon as they get that into the software we can have x axis angling.. (ie long x axis labels won't collide with one another)
