Ah, very nice, thank you for the reference to the helpful hints also.
Part of the desire to do this type of thing within Maxima is to use it
as the tool of choice in first year calculus. While a spreadsheet is
better for manipulation of data points we don't do enough with them to
warrant the effort of getting students to learn another tool.
Thanks Robert!

Also very nice, it works fine without the xaxislabel option.
Thanks Gosei!
