Hi,
I noticed that at least some of the plotting routines are written in
tcl.
These days, is that the best choice?
Would it be better to take something like "python," and try to write
scripts (say, incorporating matplotlib or some such thing), for new
plotting programs?
It seems to me that there is much more current activity in developing
graphing capabilities, e.g. 3d, in the python community.
Perhaps a good solution would be to open up a plot window which one
could interact with to read data from maxima and use whatever external
plotting program one wished.
Any opinions, comments, suggestions would be appreciated.
