Hi,
please try this command:
plot2d(x^2,[x,0,2],[plot_format,gnuplot]);
even if wxMaxima hangs, there is a chance that the file maxout.gnuplot
is created; please try to find that file and tell us the first few lines
which should be something like this:
set term pop
set xlabel "x"
set ylabel "x^2"
set xrange [0. : 2. ]
set zeroaxis
set datafile missing "NaN"
plot [0. :2. ] '-' notitle with lines lt 3
You can also enter gnuplot and then issue the command:
load "path_to_file_maxout.gnuplot_in_you_system"
which should produce the plot.
Regards,
Jaime
