saving plots in maxima



Hi - You can use plot2dps in the same way as plot2d, and you can also put
all of your Maxima commands into a text file which you can run in the
following way: batch("c:\blah.mc"); where blah.mc is the text file.  You
also have to use the closeps command to initialize and terminate the
plot(s).  I hope this helps...
