plot2d output ""



Robert, I know about the difference between $  and  ;. The problem is I call Maxima from Lisp (clisp) so it already ends with $:

#$plot2d(...)$

What can I do in this case?

Yigal, ending inputs with a $ instead of ; suppresses the display
of the return value. The value is returned and % is bound to it,
but it is not displayed.

I've often wondered if plot2d could have a more useful return value,
but that is a different topic.

Hope this helps,
