I am not sure that it is necessary. Consider for instance an example
from Maple's help page:
with(plottools):
c := torus([1,1,1], 1, 5):
plots[display](c, scaling=constrained);
The result is a graph whose height and width are 3 times bigger than
neccesary, even accounting for rotations. I agree with Nathan and
Edgardo that this really is a problem, especially if you try to export
the graph to another application; the only decent way I found of doing
this is to use the handles so that the graph takes up the whole window
(in which case the torus itself takes 1/3 of a window) and then clipping
the torus itself with graphics software. One should not have to go
through this just to get a decent Maple picture.
Does anyone have a better workaround?
Theodore.
