[Maxima-discuss] adapt_depth and nticks for plot2d

[有坂富雄 <ari...@ic...>]

Hello,

If I try to create a polygonal plot with plot2d, 
I have to add both adapt_depth and nticks.
There are 2 ways.

On the one hand
if I control the shape of the polygonal plot with nticks,
I have to set adapt_depth to 1,
on the other hand
if I control the shape of the polygonal plot with adapt_depth,
I have to set nticks to 1.

For example:

    plot2d ([parametric, cos(t), sin(t), [t, -2*%pi,2*%pi]], 
            [adapt_depth,1],[nticks,2]);

    plot2d ([parametric, cos(t), sin(t), [t, -2*%pi,2*%pi]], 
            [adapt_depth,2],[nticks,1]);

I do not know why this behavior is not described in the manual.

My environment:
  Maxima version: "5.33.0"
  Maxima build date: "2014-04-20 04:11:32"
  Host type: "x86_64-apple-darwin10.8.0"
  Lisp implementation type: "SBCL"
  Lisp implementation version: "1.1.17"
  gnuplot --version: gnuplot 4.6 patchlevel 5
