I just checked using Debian (maxima 5.10), and rotating works when I
draw using gnuplot directly, but not when I use gnuplot via maxima.
However, this does work:
(%i14) set_plot_option([plot_format, mgnuplot]);
(%i15) plot3d(sin(x)*sin(y),[x,0,6],[y,0,6]);
(This will give a tcl window with scales to rotate the curve)
However, now the d3pm argument doesn't seem to have any effect:(
