The commercial Macsyma has a command "plot_animate"
which is perhaps a useful example of what could be done
with manipulate...
PLOT_ANIMATE(param, lo, hi, plot_command {, optional-args})
Animates the plot_command with animation parameter param, which varies
between lo and hi values during the animation. plot_command can any
static Macsyma 2D or 3D plot command, where the parameter param is
included in the plotted expression.
Optional-args can have the value CYCLIC. When the animated figure is a
periodic function of the animation variable param, CYCLIC causes the
animation to run smoothly through points where param changes from hi
to lo.
..........
This is not part of Maxima, and because people use different front-ends
to Maxima, which would require different approaches. For some
systems it is likely that popping up a window with an interactive widget
from
Maxima would not be hard. I don't know how far you can push using Sage.
