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):
