The StaticPlot command is used to render a plot inline in a shared canvas.  The plot argument is the result of a call to one of Maple's plot commands.

The onclick option can be used to specify the name of a ScriptButton in the canvas description.  When a user clicks over the plot, then a global variable named _location will be set to the [x,y] coordinates of the click.  See the example below.  

The custom option can be used to specify a string identifier that can later be used to locate the element using scripting commands and GetElements

The scrollHorizontal truefalse option will set the default zoom mode in Maple Learn to apply only in the horizontal direction

The scrollVertical truefalse option will set the default zoom mode in Maple Learn to apply only in the vertical direction

The lockedView truefalse option, when true, will "lock" the view in Maple Learn so that subsequent curves added to the plot will not cause the view to change.  

The lockedAspect truefalse option will set the aspect ration of the plot in Maple Learn to 1:1, similar to the constrained option for Maple plots.

The showSpecial truefalse option turns on the "Show special points" feature for a live plot in Maple Learn.

Note: When viewed in a canvas in Maple, in order to enable click actions, you must use the plot click and drag manipulator tool ( ).  If not already selected, you can select this tool from the plotting toolbar.
