Re: [Maxima-discuss] wxMaxima and gnuplot-qt on a Mac

[Jan H. M. <jan...@ma...>]

I did the same as Eric described below, but the command line "set_draw_defaults(terminal=qt)$“ in the maxima-init.mac file has no effect on my system (OS 10.11).
Only if I add „terminal=qt“ inside a draw-command everything works fine, but without this add nothing is being plotted.

So only adding this third line to the „How to install.rtf“ does not guarantee that plotting with draw and gnuplot works using OSX.
