Animations



"terminal = 'animated_gif' is (or was?) also problematic in Windows"

I have no problems with it.  I am using Windows XP.

Here are some examples on animations with package draw:

But:

1.- The for loop example doesn't work in Windows; you must shut one plot
to see the next one. In Windows, Maxima and Gnuplot are not connected
via pipes.

2.- terminal = 'animated_gif' is (or was?) also problematic in Windows.
Program wgnuplot is compiled without the animated gifs terminal. 

First possible solution is to save a set of files (with terminals png,
or gif) and then use an external utility to build the animated gif.
