Hello Palmira,
being a Windows user like you are, I would like to add two more suggestions to this subject.
If you need plots in various graphic formats you can achieve this in two different ways:
1. Use gnuplot.exe directly. You find it in the folder Maxima-5.9.3\bin. You also find there
the gnuplot help file. gnuplot offers a lot of terminals/graphic formats: postscript, png, latex
and more. For information search in the gnuplot help for the preamble 'set terminal'. If you
need a png file for example, the gnuplot commands could look like this.
set terminal png
set output 'myfile.png'
plot [x=0:2*pi] sin(x)
2. Use Maxima or gnuplot and plot in the default window. Copy the plot to clipboard.
(Rightclick on the icon in the upper left corner -> Options -> Copy to Clipboard)
Paste the clipboard graphic into IrfanView (nice freeware) or your favourite software for
graphics and save the picture to a file. IrfanView for example offers a lot of file formats: jpg
in various qualities, png, gif, tif, a lot more.
