How does Maple Compare?
Visualisation
With Maple, you can easily visualise your work by using 2-D and 3-D plots and animations. Maple supports over 150 plot types and options, including implicit, contour, complex, polar, vector field, conformal, density, ODE, PDE and statistical plots.
Creation Plots
In Maple, plots and animations are very easy to create. Point-and-click tools allow you to create a huge variety of 2-D and 3-D plots and animations, from standard 2-D plots to the animation of the flow of a vector field. Interactive tools also let you control many different plot options before and after the plot has been created. Once a plot has been created in the Maple document, you can even add new curves to the plot simply by dragging and dropping in the mathematical expression. These plot creation tools are all mouse-driven and can all be used without ever having to know a single command.

Interaction with Plots
Plots in Maple are not static images. You can pan and zoom interactively to get a better look at areas of interest. You can rotate 3-D plots in real-time. You can control animations using playback and speed controls.
You can also create applications in which plots are updated automatically because sliders and dials are used to change parameters. You can even create plots that capture and respond to mouse clicks. For example, you can create a curve-fitting application that dynamically illustrates how a curve changes as new points are added.
Plots can even be easily exported to a variety of formats using interactive tools, as well as commands.
