Jaime E. Villate replied on the issue of direction field and gnuplot
in maxima here:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.mathematics.maxima.general/13159/focus=13255

I believe Gnuplot can do the same even though probably not as
integrative as those shown in
http://maxima.sourceforge.net/docs/manual/en/maxima_63.html#SEC228.

Could someone do an reply on this issue to the thread in maxima list?
Thank you.
