Plot 2 or more parametric functions MAXIMA

5.5k Views Asked by At

In Maple you can plot several questions using the display()function Is it possible to do so in MAXIMA?

for example, draw these two parametric functions in the same gaphic:

 wxplot2d([parametric,theta1(t,2,3),theta2(t,4,3),[t,-pi/2.1,pi/2.1]],
        [box,false],[same_xy,true],[color,black],
        [axes,solid],[style, [lines,2]],
        [title, "Hipérbola"],[nticks,1000]);

 wxplot2d([parametric,-theta1(t,2,3),theta2(t,4,3),[t,-pi/2.1,pi/2.1]],
        [box,false],[same_xy,true],[color,black],
        [axes,solid],[style, [lines,2]],
        [title, "Hipérbola"],[nticks,1000]);

You can supply multiple functions to the plot2d command

plot2d([sin(x),cos(x),x^2],[x,0,%pi]);

For more complicated plots, load the draw package and use the draw2d command.

load(draw);
draw2d(
    color = red,
    explicit(sin(%pi*x),x,-1,1),
    color = blue,
    implicit(x^2+y^2-1,x,-1,1,y,-1,1),
    color = magenta,
    parametric(cos(t),0.5*sin(t),t,0,2*%pi)
);

Finally, press the F1 key and read the manual.
