Here the maxima output is such that latex runs OK and the dvi output looks
very similar to the gnuplot output. However the xlabel is displayed correctly
with gnuplot and as 2 pi via maxima. I have run a diff on the two inputs
introduction.tex and introduction-inc.eps, very little difference, but
some appear. For reference here is my
Maxima 5.25.1 http://maxima.sourceforge.net
using Lisp SBCL 1.0.51.0-a546163
on Mac OS X.
