I have just started using xmaxima frontend and would like to have plots
in a separate window. Where do I set this up?
In File->Preferences
Where it asks
Should plot windows be embedded ?
click on embedded and change it to one of the other defaults:
separate means it will reuse one external popup window
multiple means it will make a new window for each plot.
You should be able to then save your preferences. Then you should
reboot windows -- no just kidding..!
This may not be in older versions of xmaxima/netmath
