Graph Plotting

EDU offers two methods to place a graph in a question or its feedback: basic system plots, and Maple®-driven plots.

Basic System Plots

The \graph and \multigraph macros use EDU's graphing applet to embed a graph in a question.

Maple®-driven Plots

EDU also offers the ability to use Maple to generate plots. Maple provides many sophisticated means to display information graphically. The \drawMaplePlot and \drawMaplePlot3d macros provide a simplified interface to Maple's plotting commands. The starred form \drawMaplePlot* allows an author to pass plotting commands directly to Maple, to access its more sophisticated commands and options.
