Hello-
From the number of problems in the plotting functions, I would like to suggest that an urgent code revision regarding plotting be undertaken, if possible.
This new problem I found address a trivial problem, finding the area between a linear function and an intersecting parabola.
I did not even get to the integration since I discovered that plotting correctly wasn't possible.
I am using xmaxima on Debian GNU/Linux pre-3.0 (Woody).
Here it is:
Problem: find the area defined by y=5-x^2 and y=x+3.
(C9) algsys([y=5-x^2, y=x+3],[x,y]);
(D9) [[x = - 2, y = 1], [x = 1, y = 4]]
(C10) plot2d([5-x^2,x+3],[x,-2,1]);
(D10)
Only a fraction of the correct graphic is plotted.
In another of my post, I reported a similar problem regarding another simple function, again with wrong graphics.
I would file a bug report, but I don't know how to do it.
TIA,
Regs
Henry
