Creating Encapsulated PostScript (.eps) graphics with Maple

1. Create a Maple worksheet that has the graphs you want.
2. Create a new folder to store the files you are about to create.
3. Pull down File, Export As, and select LaTeX.  Save the files in the folder you just created.  Maple creates various LaTeX files which are intended to be able to reproduce the worksheet you created in LaTeX.  You may be interested in seeing the LaTeX commands to typeset the equations in the Maple output, but that isn't the point here.
4. Open the folder in which you saved all the LaTeX files.  There should be one or more .eps files there, numbered consecutively.  You may want to rename them to help you identify them. On a Macintosh, if you want to preview the .eps files, use Sherlock to search for a program called MacGSView.  On a PC, you should be able to use GSView, which is part of the GhostScript family of programs.

If you are incorporating the .eps graphics into a LaTeX file, move or copy them to the folder where your LaTeX file(s) are and follow the instructions for incorporating .eps files into a LaTeX document.

Customizing Maple graphs to look good when incorporated into Word or LaTeX

Sometimes you want to produce a graph with Maple and then paste it into a Word or LaTeX document with a much smaller size than the original graph in Maple.  When you do this, the lines on the graph may become too small, and the text of the labels may be too small as well.  I've made a Maple worksheet which shows how to make the lines in the graph thicker and make the text larger.  You can view a web page version of the worksheet or download the worksheet.
