This finds a maximum on EACH curve:
Cases[Plot[Sin@x, {x, 0, Pi}],
Line[pts_List] :> Max@pts[[All, 2]], Infinity
Max@%
{1.}
1.
Cases[Table[Plot[x Sin[k x], {x, 0, Pi}], {k, 0, 13}],
Line[pts_List] :> Max@pts[[All, 2]], Infinity]
Max@%
{0., 1.81971, 0.909853, 2.63891, 1.97918, 2.83447, 2.36206, 2.92068, \
2.5556, 2.96913, 2.67221, 3.00017, 2.75015, 3.02171}
3.02171
This doesn't require knowing the structure of the Plot or other graphic
(only that it's made up of Lines), so it might not change from version to
version.
