Scaling Constrained

 Maple plots can be constrained or unconstrained.
 • Plots are unconstrained by default, which means the plot is  scaled to fit the plot window. For example, the plot of a circle on unconstrained axes may appear oval or flattened so that the largest possible diagram can fit in the plot object.
 • Plots are constrained when the scales in all directions are of equal proportion. In this case, the plot of a circle appears perfectly round because the x and y axes are scaled in equal proportions.
 • To use Maple commands to alter data structures in standard plots, see plottools.
 • For plots containing dual axes, the constraining only applies to the first vertical axis.
 Note: Scaling is not applicable for polarplots.

Changing the Plot Scaling

 1 Click the plot to select it.
 2 From the Plot menu, select the Scaling Constrained check box. You can also access this option in the Context Panel.
 Alternatively, clear the check box to display an unconstrained plot.
