Dear colleagues,
does anybody know if/how the font of a Maple for Windows - Plot is
setable? The default font is the system font which looks very ugly
when pasted to a document.
Another question closely related: I'm astound nobody mentioned the
dramatic decrease in screen-plotting. Any plot takes now twice or
thrice the time it needed under plain dos. The plot is redrawn every
time it is hidden by another window. This plays on your nerves, even
on a fast machine. -- Am I doing something wrong? Did I miss a magic
switch to increase speed?
Regards,
Olaf Winkelhake

This is not possible in Maple V 1.1 for Windows, and we recognize
this as a shortcoming.  It will be fixed in Maple V Release 2 for
Windows.

Unfortunately, there is no way to speed up the plotting.  The redrawing
could be avoided by using bitmaps of each plot, but this rapidly
eats up memory, and overall efficiency is severly compromised.  We recognize
that this is not ideal, and this is an issue that is being worked on 
for Maple V Release 2 for Windows.
