Maple Plot a Complex Function in maple

AI Thread Summary
To plot the complex function e^ix on the complex or Argand plane, the discussion emphasizes the importance of separating the real and imaginary components. The real part can be represented as cos(x), while the imaginary part corresponds to sin(x). By plotting these components using the command plot(cos(x), sin(x)), the graph will depict a circle of unit radius, illustrating the relationship between the real and imaginary parts of the complex function. This approach is essential for visualizing complex functions effectively, especially for beginners using the program.

How do I plot a Complex Function like...

e^ix?

I tried things like...

complexplot(x,y);

...but that gets me knowhere.

I searched on the program, but it never mentions anything about a Complex Plane of Argand Plane.

I would really like to see this graph, which probably looks like a trig function anyways.

try plotting the real vs the imaginary components...it should be a circle
 
How would you do that?

That's what I am trying to do. How would I plot real vs. imaginary components? That is what a complex plane is, and I looked for it.

Sorry, I'm kind of new at the program.
 
plot the real axis as cos(x) and the imaginary axis as sin(x)...should look like a circle of unit radius.
 
Like this?

plot(cosx,sinx);
