I know this can be done in plain gnuplot, but can it be done from
within Maxima, using plot3d? I'm just playing around with dynamical
systems, and I have set up the (discrete) equations to generate the
Lorenz attractor. And now I'd like to plot the points they produce.
I *can* do it with "dataplot" from the "descriptive.mac" share file,
but I wonder if I can do it in some other way...
Another, related plot question: I generated the plot for the Henon
attractor (in 2D) by first generating the lists of all the points, and
then plotting them. But can the plotting be done more interactively -
that is, each new point produced being added to the plot? This would
certainly save memory, as I wouldn't have to generate large lists
first.
Same thing for 3D data plots.
Thanks,
