Maple T.A. uses Maple plotting features to graph student responses or a function derived from a student response, for example, the definite integral of the student response. Maple provides many ways of representing data and mathematical expressions graphically using plots.
Plotting a student response is available only with the Maple-graded Question Type.
When entering code for plotting in the Question Bank Editor, use only one Maple plot command. It must be the last command entered. You must use the long form name for Maple package functions
The following is the source file for a Maple-graded Formula question that plots the student response.
question=Enter an expression in x@
maple=true@ plot=plot($RESPONSE,x=0..10)@
type=formula@
mode=Maple@
name=2D Maple plot@
editing=useHTML@
The following is the source code for a Maple Syntax question that plots the student response using the Maple tubeplot command.
maple=Maple @
plot=plots[tubeplot]($RESPONSE, t=0..4, radius=.05, numpoints=70)@
Important:
You must use the long form name
for Maple package functions.
You must test your plot code prior to publishing assignments. Maple
T.A. does
not display error messages if the plot does not work correctly.
