That is, it plots a vector field, such as a magnetic field.> fieldplot( [y*cos(x*y), x*cos(x*y)], x=-1..1, y=-1..1);1y0.5–1 –0.5 0.5 1x–0.5–1Maple can draw curves in three-dimensional space.> spacecurve( [cos(t),sin(t),t], t=0..12 );Here Maple inflates the previous spacecurve to form a tube.> tubeplot( [cos(t),sin(t),t], t=0..4*Pi, radius=0.5 );
