Xmaxima can produce embedded images when using the openmath plot interface.
For instance, you could do
plot2d(%,[x,-10,10],[plot_format,openmath]);
and get an embedded plot in Xmaxima (version 5.9.1; earlier versions used
openmath by default.) I do not know the state of plot integration (if any)
in other Maxima front-ends.

Subject: RE: [Maxima] Moving from Maple to Maxima
Thanks a lot! That was a quick answer.
I assume that minf and inf stand for minus infinity and infinity. That's
what I was doing wrong, since I assumed that an undefinite integral would
be trated the same way as one with infinite limits.
Maxima with TeXmacs produces a really nice output. Besides, I can
integrate it smoothly into my papers. I'm very happy with it.
Now, regarding the image issues, I have browsed the net in search for the
embedded-graphics problem, and from reference documentation it seems that
Maxima always otuputs images in separate windows? However, I'd swear that
I saw XMaxima running under an Ubuntu, where the graphics were embedder.
And under Fedora, too.
¿Is there some switch to turn on and off embedding? ¿Is it an issue of
latest Maxima versions? ¿Or should perhaps I be asking this question in
the TeXmacs list (but the problem also happens with XMaxima)?
Again, thanks.
Denís.
