Jan,
If I'm not mistaken, plot?d makes use of the default gnuplot terminal,
but draw sets the default terminal depending on the operating system:
Linux -> set terminal x11
Windows -> set terminal windows
I don't remember the exact details, but I think the Maxima-Mac packager
changes by hand the default terminal to be
Mac -> set terminal aquaterm
That is, when you install Maxima in your computer, the default terminal
is aquaterm. If you need to plot on a x11 window, you have to set it
this way:
terminal = x11
Probably, you can also make use of
terminal = wxt
To avoid writing 'terminal = x11' every time you want to plot something,
you can write in your Maxima init file:
load("draw")$
set_draw_defaults(terminal=x11)$
I've never used a Mac. I hope this diagnostic is correct.
