Hi,
it wasn't just me who had this problem, see:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.mathematics.maxima.general/38292/match=gnuplot+mouse+rotate+hermann
My system (OSX 10.8 and maxima 5.28.0) requires first to start MANUALLY x11 BEFORE plotting via draw. That makes it work!
This should be added to the "How to install" file.
Has any OSX user an idea how to automate the start of x11 with the plotting via draw?
bw (thx Adam!)
