Animations



I'm trying to produce some animations with wxmaxima : my goal is to have
a loop of several functions, depending on the same parameter, displayed
simultaneously, for different values of the parameter.

* The first function I tried : with_slider() works but I couldn't get it
to use gnuplot/openmath/animated_gif terminal. Also I didn't find how to
change the size of the dumbterminal display.

* I also tried the draw function with a syntax of the kind :
draw2d(explicit(function,x,xmin,xmax))  in a for loop, but couldn't get
it to draw 2 explicit functions in this manner.

* The maxima doc states that the sliders option for openmath can't be
used from inside plot2d : is it still the case or did I just not find
the syntax ?

Thanks for your help,

Julien, desperate to have a nice illustration of phase and group speeds
of a wave...
