Hello,
In linux the following commands work as expected.
(%i1) my_ps_preamble:
"set terminal postscript; set output 'output.ps' ";
(%o1) set terminal postscript; set output 'output.ps'
(%i2) ps_output: [gnuplot_preamble, my_ps_preamble];
(%o2) [gnuplot_preamble, set terminal postscript; set output
'output.ps' ]
(%i3) plot2d(x^2,[x,0,1],ps_output);
(%o3)
(%i4) system("ls output.ps");
output.ps
(%o4) 0
The file "output.ps" is created, and one can continue--using maxima,
displaying, printing, etc.
In Win_XP, Xmaxima hangs after the command (%i3).
The culprit is "wgnuplot.exe".
If I kill the process, then I can continue as expected.
Unless this program is killed, I can't even diplay "output_ps".
Do others have this problem? Is there a workaround?
What do people who use Win_XP use to plot with plot2d?
TIA,
-sen
