Openplot in Xmaxima is the only embedded plotting I am aware of
currently for any Maxima front end, but in the end you might find it
less than satisfying. It's resizing is haphazard, scrolling (last time
I used it at least) is not smooth, and you don't have any of the
advanced gnuplot specific options Maxima is capable of. Also, you
cannot output a pdf with the graph embedded - you will have to put
together a separate document.
[Note to myself and Jay - would it be possible to have emaxima mode
automatically insert an appropriate link to a gnuplot output file?
This wouldn't be (quite) embedded graphics but it would result in a
situation where latexing the emaxima doc would have the correct graph
included in the output automatically.]

I am intrigued by your description of gnuplot mode in TeXmacs - is
TeXmacs+gnuplot indeed both embedded and interactive? If this is the
case, it would be much more ideal for TeXmacs to redefine the gnuplot
commands in Maxima to redirect the handling of it to a separate,
perhaps specialized embedded gnuplot session - this would result in an
environment much closer to Maple for graphics. I wasn't aware TeXmacs
gnuplot mode could do this though - if it can I would very much like to
look into this! If we can hook Maxima into that routine... drool.
