Error, (in plots:-pointplot) points cannot be converted to floating-point values
Error, (in plots:-pointplot3d) points cannot be converted to floating-point values
Error, (in plots:-pointplot) incorrect specification of points data
Description
Examples
These errors occur when the first argument to plots:-pointplot or plots:-pointplot3d is not a set of points of numeric values specified in the proper format. For the correct syntax, see the plots:-pointplot and plots:-pointplot3d help pages.
Example 1
withplots:
The variable x is undefined:
pointplot1,2,2,x,3,8
Solution:
Defining the variable fixes this error.
x≔5
x:=5
Example 2
Lowercase pi is used instead of uppercase Pi.
pointplot1,2,2,4,pi,8
Using uppercase Pi corrects the error.
pointplot1,2,2,4,Pi,8
You can also use the π symbol from the Common Symbols palette.
Note: In Maple 2017 and earlier versions, error message that occurs in these examples is slightly different:
pointplot1,2,2,4,pi,8
