The following
examples illustrate how to use many of the basic 3d plotting features
of MAPLE.

Here are
a couple of examples of basic 3d plots and how to combine them
into a single graph.

Here are
some examples of how you can create level curves in a plane and
contour lines on the graph itself.

Here are
some examples of how to use implicitplot3d to examine the cross-sections
of a surface with a plane.

This is
how you can plot a single point or a series of points.

And finally,
here are some examples of surfaces that are defined parametrically
using two parameters.

And finally,
here are a couple of nonorientable surfaces. The Mobius
strip is the classic example of a one-sided surface, and the Klein
bottle takes a twist through a fourth dimension in order to create
a 3-dimensional object whose inside is the same as its outside.
