Export a Plot

Export an inline Maple plot from a worksheet to a file through the user interface.  The following file formats are available for 2-D and 3-D plots: BMP, EPS, GIF/ANIMATED-GIF, JPEG/JPG, PDF, PNG, SVG, and WMF.

The following file formats are available for only 3-D plots: X3D, X3DG, COLLADA, POV, and DXF.

  

To export a plot:

1. 

Select the plot you want to export.

2. 

From the Plot menu, select Export.

  

Alternatively, select Export from the Context Panel.

3. 

Select a format.

4. 

Specify the location and the name of the exported file.

5. 

Click Save.

  

Notes:

• 

Animations in Maple can be exported as animated GIFs. Select GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) from the list of formats under the Export menu item.

• 

Formats that do not support multiple frames output only the current frame of an animation.

• 

The transparency option is ignored when exporting plots. For information about the transparency option, see plot,options and plot3d,option.

• 

Since the GIF format has a maximum number of colors that it can cope with, it should not, in general, be used for plots where shading or transparency are used. This includes most 3-D plots. In these cases, JPEG is a good alternative.

• 

Maple provides a number of ways to export plots. Some additional file formats are available when you programmatically export a plot.  For information on programmatically saving a plot to a file, see plotsetup and plottools:-exportplot. For information on a specific output device, see plot/device and File Formats Known to Maple.
