Well, the graph is in the middle of a a document. Setting image to NEGATIVE would reverse the text too. Maple, plus the user library of routines, provides an enormous number of procedures for symbolic mathematical manipulation, although some are so esoteric that even I, with a B.S in math, have no idea what they do. But that may say something about my B.S, though! 🙂 Anyway, I like it a lot, but performing mathematical computation on it it NOT the same as doing it on paper. You have to learn a new way of thinking about math. The function was the Magnetic field strength (B) of a Helmholtz coil arrangment (two coils of wire, sides parallel). The equation gave the field on-axis, between the coils. —–> Brian Simmons, Denver, Colorado. – via Whap!
