Hi,

When you do this a := plot(1/x, x=0..1);  the figure contains a "smart" graph which extends roughly from 0 to 30 in the vertical direction.
(no discont=true nor smartview=false used here, numpoints set to its default falue)

If you use plottools:-getdata(a); you find that the vertical range is about  0..1800.
It seems to mean that smartview=true (the default setting) overrides the range determined from the values of discont and numpoints?
 

My question is: Is it possible to retrieve the vertical range that plot uses when it displays the graph?
 

Hi :-(

Just type this little set of lines (presently in Maple 2018, not checked for older versions)

restart:
with(Statistics):
N := ... Some integer value >= 2;  
X := RandomVariable(Binomial(N, 1/2)); 
plot(CDF(X, s), s=-1..N+1, gridlines=true, axis[1]=[gridlines=N+1]);

You will be horified by the results you obtain:
Whatever the value of n in [2, 5] the CDF is null for s < 0 (good), equal to 1 for s > N (good also) ... and equal to 1 in between

I didn't check with p = 0.5 instead of 1/2, neither for other values.
Surprinsingly the PDF is correct for any integer n



 

Hi,

Let a in ] 0, 1[  and  x real

Let  f := sin(x) / ( ( sin(a*x) )^a * ( sin((1-a)*x) )^(1-a) );

How can I find the limit of f as x goes to 0 ?
(limit, series, taylor don't work, wether I set or not assumptions on "a" [assume/assuming])

PS 1:  the limit is found once a numeric value is given to alpha

PS 2:  By simple calculations:
           sin(x) ~x  ;  sin(a*x) ~ ax  ; sin((1-a)*x) ~(1-a)x and thus
          ==>  f(x->0) ~ x / ( -a*x)^a * ((1-a)*x)^(1-a) )
                              = x / ( -a^a * (1-a)^(1-a) * x^(a+1-a)
                              = 1 /  ( -a^a * (1-a)^(1-a)  )

Hi,

Is it possible to write the title of a plot on two different lines with different fonts for each line?
For instance:

MyTitle := typeset("Identity function", "\n(illustration));
plot(x, x=0..1, title=MyTitle);

with the upper line  [times, bold, 14]
and the lower one   [times, roman, 12]

Hi,

I use the first example in the HeatMap help page.

restart:
with(Statistics):
RM := LinearAlgebra:-RandomMatrix(10):
HeatMap(RM);

I want to replace each tickmarks k (k=1..10) by cat(`A`, k).
So I do

NewTickMarks := [seq(k+1/2=cat(`A`, k), k=1..10)]:
HeatMap( RM, tickmarks=[NewTickMarks , NewTickMarks ] );

The horizontal tickmarks are displayed as expected: why the vertical tickmarks do not appear?

PS : HeatMap( RM, tickmarks=[NewTickMarks , default] ) changes the horizontal tickmarks without removing the vertical ones.

Thnks for the help
