There is documentation for Openmath! Since Openmath is part of Xmaxima,
you should look at the Xmaxima manual. In Xmaxima, you will find the
manual in the "Help" menu, or you can read it directly from a directory
which should be something such as:
/usr/local/share/maxima/5.13.0/xmaxima/html/
If you cannot find the Xmanual in your system, you can read it in our
Website:
http://maxima.sourceforge.net/docs/xmaxima/xmaxima.html
In particular, for the kind of plots you'd like to do, look at the third
figure in:
http://maxima.sourceforge.net/docs/xmaxima/xmaxima_5.html#SEC8
and the explanation of how it was done.
There is currently no way to do those kind of plots directly from
Maxima, using plot2d, because I still have to figure out what to do in
the case of gnuplot and because I have many other features to implement
in plot2d/openmath (anyone willing to help, please jump in). You will
have to create a file with a command that will be read from Xmaxima.
