Printing from within Maple

Graphics

To obtain a printout of a graphics window, you must carry out the following two steps.

1. Under the File option in the graphics window, click on Print, and then on Postscript, and then confirm the choice by clicking on the Confirm button in the final small window that appears. (Or change the name to something more meaningful!) This produces a file in your working directory called plotoutfile.ps.

2. If you are comfortable working in UNIX, you may print your file by typing lpr plotoutfile.ps into a shell window. If you prefer to remain in Maple, then to print the contents of the file type

           system(`lpr plotoutfile.ps`);
   

   in Maple window at the > prompt. Notice that these quotes are the ``backwards apostrophe''. This tells the Unix system to print your file called plotoutfile.ps.

Text

It is also possible to print all of the commands that you gave Maple and all of the answers it gave to you.

1. Under the File option in the main Maple window, click on Print, and then click on the OK button in the lower left hand corner. This produces a file in your working directory called session.ps.

2. Print the contents of the file as explained above for graphics.
