I am using Maple to do symbolic calculations
in Solid mechanics classes (undergraduate and graduate,
Civil and Mechanical).
I find it very useful. But, to complete the problem solutions
in Maple, I would need to be able to hand-sketch in a worksheet.
The hand sketches that I need to draw are what we call
free body diagrams (FBD). They include simple
geometric shapes, lines, arrows,
representation of support conditions, etc.
I know I could more than likely program Maple
so it can draw things for me.
But I would rather add a package or use Maple
inside another package that would let me draw
and do symbolic calculations.
If possible Linux, if not Windows.
Thanks in advance,
Guy

On Windows, you can select the OLE Object item from the Insert menu.
This allows you to insert, among many other things, either a Paint
bitmap or (if you have Word) a Word picture. I just tried both and they
seem to work. I also insert Equation Editor objects frequently. But
you may find that you cannot export them to anything other than a
printer or print file.

I have used it for tensor analysis of deformation and then I made Figures
(not FBD) using Powerpoint. This can be included as OLE objects in window.
Maybe it is possible to use OLE for other drawing programs also.
Unfortunately, the figures dissappears when moving to other platforms.
best regards

While we have here xfig and some microsoft tools to draw (including
Corel Draw) I am using Maple to draw my pictures. I find it very
powerful although it is far from perfection.
