DIRTY hack:
If you're using unix, you can change plot.lisp (in share/.../src)
In show-open-plot
(defun show-open-plot (ans)
(cond ($show_openplot
(with-open-file (st1 "maxout.openmath" :direction :output)
(princ ans st1))
($system (concatenate 'string *maxima-plotdir* "/"
$openmath_plot_command)
" maxout.openmath &" ))
(t (princ ans) "")))
and in $plot3d:
(cond (($get_plot_option '$run_viewer 2)
(case plot-format
($zic ($view_zic))
($ps ($viewps))
($openmath
($system (concatenate 'string *maxima-plotdir* "/"
$openmath_plot_command)
" maxout.openmath &")
...
(ie. just append "&" at the end of the string. note that the string should
be in one line, otherwise unix won't like it)
Should be an option for the $system command, shouldn't it?
