Richard, Jaime,
Thanks for your notes.
I wasn't clear enough. I do know how to make a screen shot. I would like
to re-generate the screenshots on the maxima page. For example, the
first screenshot is of a Mobius band, with some shading, in an xmaxima
window. The second screen shot is similar.
I don't know how to make graphs in xmaxima appear inline, and I don't
know how to get the coloring in those plots (the pm3d terminal produces
a more gaudy coloring which makes the 3d aspect more difficult to see,
in my eyes).
I was hoping that someone had created the shots via a script, or some such,
so I could reproduce some of them in real time.
On a side note, I did install imaxima today, so I really only need to
know how to reproduce the first two screenshots in xmaxima. Imaxima is
a nice piece of software.
