base : one of bindir, currentdir, datadir, homedir, mapledir, tempdir, toolboxdir, or worksheetdir.

The base option specifies a base directory. Any local file specified with dest will be interpreted as a relative path under this directory. For the meaning of each of these values, see kernelopts or interface.

encoding : one of text or binary

Specifies whether the output should be encoded using a text or binary variant of the format. This option is only effective for the PLY and STL output formats. The default is binary.

format : string

The format option specifies the export format to use. This must correspond to one of the supported export formats. If omitted, Export will attempt to infer the format from the file extension of dest. When target=direct, this option may not be omitted.

height : posint or auto

Specifies the height of a generated image. Valid only for image formats such as JPEG or PNG.

normals : truefalse

For 3-D formats such as STL, compute and include normal vectors in the exported file.

target : one of file or direct

The default target=file specifies that the data should be written to the file referenced by dest; target=direct means that the data will be exported to a string or ByteArray to be returned. Note that target=direct requires format to be provided explicitly.

width : posint or auto

Specifies the width of a generated image. Valid only for image formats such as JPEG or PNG.

The Export command exports data from Maple to an external file or to a string or ByteArray in the specified file format.

When target=file (the default), the command writes the exported data to the file dest and returns a number showing the count of bytes written.

When target=direct, the data is exported to a string or ByteArray which is returned as output. Note that target=direct requires format to be provided explicitly.

For details about the types of input accepted by a particular output format, consult the documentation for that format.
