Hi Peter, ParametricPlot3D has the HoldAll attribute. So Mathematica try to compile eigth[t] and find no instructions for the Mathematica compiler that handels your function. Try ParametricPlot3D[Evaluate[eight[t]],__] and Your function is expanded to the list. Hope that helps, Jens -----Original Message----- From: Peter <phuesser at bluewin.ch> To: mathgroup at smc.vnet.net Subject: [mg14531] [mg14492] ParametricPlot >I have the following defintion in Mathematica notebook (version 3.01 for >Mac): > >eight[t_]:={Sin[t],Sin[t] Cos[t]} > >Trying to plot this by executing > >ParametricPlot[eight[t],{t,0,2 Pi}]; > >produces the right graphic but also an warning: > >ParametricPlot::"ppcom": "Function eight[t] cannot be compiled; plotting >will proceed with the uncompiled function." > >What is wrong ? > >Email: phuesser at bluewin.ch > > >
