Hello,
I noticed that (with xmaxima) there is a difference between plotting
capabilities in Linux (Fedora Core 4) and Win-XP.
For instance,
consider any plot2d: e.g.
(%i1) plot2d(sin(x),[x,0,6]);
In Linux and Win-XP, they both produce the sine plot.
But, the middle mouse button in Win-XP produces the coordinates of a point
in the plot. In Linux (with gnuplot gnuplot-4.0.0-7), the middle
mouse button has no effect.
In Linux, plotting the sin(x) function with gnuplot directly allows
one to click the middle mouse button and get the coordinates on the
screen.
So, I presume this is a problem about how maxima uses gnuplot in
Linux.
Any comments or suggestions?
