Merging graphs

Any number of previously defined graphs can be merged into a composite graph with the display() command.

    display({p1,p2,...,pn}, options);

    Arguments:
        p1,p2,...,pn: names for saved graphs

Remark: The curly braces {...} can be replaced with square brackets [...]. There is a distinction between the two in Maple, however the two forms are equivalent in dynagraph.

Example:

    p1 := plot3d(x^2+y^2,x=-1..1,y=-1..1);
    p2 := plot3d(x^2-y^2,x=-1..1,y=-1..1);
    display({p1, p2});

Some plot3d() options are also understood by the display() command. For instance:

    display({p1, p2}, style=patch, shading=xy, scaling=unconstrained);

A merged graph may be saved under a new name:

    p3 := display({p1, p2}, style=patch, shading=xy, scaling=unconstrained);
and be used later for displaying or further merging with other graphs.
