Unlike one respondent to this thread, I do require strong aesthetics
in the ps version of Maple graphics. I recently wrote a book that
used such graphics extensively. To satisfy the needs of the publisher
(the AMS) I had to alter the code for line thickness by hand in every
eps file I created. Also, it has annoyed me for some time that Maple
doesn't seem able to translate the "thickness" command either to a
simple printout or to a ps version of the file. Frankly, I don't
understand why these problems persist as I gather that Mathematica
resolved this ages ago. Can someone from Maple respond here and tell
us what they are doing on this front?
"Without the Maple software, we would have to spend weeks generating the equations of motion for every experiment. Then the chances that we did it right would basically be near zero. There would always be a mistake somewhere. It is very difficult to set up a dynamic motion model by hand." - Jean-Claude PiedBeouf, Ph.D Manager of Robotics, Canadian Space Agency
"Its very good - highly accurate and easy to use. The speed of Maple allows me to change equations and quickly reintegrate them into the application, so more possibilities can be explored to achieve the precise effect desired." Shawn Neely, Senior R & D Director for PDI/Dreamworks
