Maple Maple 13: Increase resolution of 3D shapes

AI Thread Summary
To increase the resolution of 3D shapes in Maple, the "numpoints" option can be added to the implicitplot3d command. This option allows users to specify the number of points used to define the shape, resulting in smoother and more detailed objects. For example, using "numpoints=20000" in the command for a sphere significantly enhances its appearance, eliminating the boxy look.

Hey all,

I'm sure this is simple, but I can't seem to find the answer in the Maple help section.
When drawing 3D shapes, I want to be able to up the number of dots used to constitute the image, thus increase the resolution of the object.

My spheres are showing up a bit boxy.

SPHERE:=implicitplot3d(x^2+y^2+z^2=1,x=-1..1,y=-1..1,z=-1..1,axes=normal):

What "option" command do I need to add at the end of the line to increase the resolution?

Thanks,

Marc.

Just found it.

"numpoints" is what I was looking for.

Example application:
implicitplot3d(x^2+y^2+z^2=1,x=-1..1,y=-1..1,z=-1..1,axes=normal, numpoints=20000):
