The commands plot2d, plot3d sent to maxima from NTEmacs do not manage to
call tcl but they do create the data file maxout.openmath in the
working directory. The following will produce graphical output
1. A windows clone of the unix cat command needs to installed
and also TCL (available from tcl.activestate.com).
2. cat.exe, wish.exe, wish84.exe need to be in the PATH.
3. If you are using the precompiled maxima-5.5beta, then you need
to get omplotdata from maxima-5.6/bin.
3. move the most recently created maxout.openmath to
maxima/bin and run the following command from
cmdproxy.exe, or cmd.exe in maxima/bin:
omplotdata maxout.openmath
4. with maxima-5.5beta, it is possible to omplotdata to executed
automatically but with maxima-5.6 it seems necessary to use
cmd.exe or cmdproxy.exe to execute it.
But IMHO it is better to run maxima under a unix system.
