Plotting points in Maple

I want to plot a single [2,-2,0] in Maple. I am trying to use command:

pointplot3d([2, -2, 0], axes=normal, symbol=cross)

it does not work(maybe because pointplot3d is for a list of points). Help please.

Solution

  • It worked for me, provided that I either invoked it as plots:-pointplot3d(...) , or plots[pointplot3d](...) , or as pointplot3d(...) only after having loaded the plots package by with(plots).

    The default color and size may not be to your liking. Here's a screenshot (Maple 15.01, Windows 7),

    plots[pointplot3d]([[2, -2, 0]], axes=normal,
                symbolsize=20, symbol=cross, color=red);

    enter image description here

    You mentioned about its being a single point. Wel, in all of Maple 13.02, 14.01, 15.01, and 16.00 it also works as plots[pointplot3d]([[2, -2, 0]],...) which is a list of lists.
