[Maxima-discuss] Inline plots of TeXmacs

[<ari...@ic...>]

Hello,

I have good news that Maxima plug-in of TeXmacs-1.99.7/1.99.8 begins to support inline plots.
The mechanism is that tm_plot2d function creates a PostScript file and loads it in order to display its plot.
But the function is only tm_plot2d. Other inline plot functions have not been supplied yet.
It seems to be an experimental implementation.
See official svn or mirror github:
  http://svn.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/texmacs/trunk/src/plugins/maxima/
  https://github.com/texmacs/texmacs/tree/master/plugins/maxima

Sadly, it has some bugs that tm_plot2d fails to display plots when the "Evaluate all" menu is chosen.

So I fixed the bug and added some more plot functions to support inline plots.
The upgraded file is "texmacs-maxima.lisp" which is attached to this mail.
It is an essential element of the Maxima plug-in of TeXmacs.
It includes the following inline plot functions:
  tm_plot2d
  tm_plot3d
  tm_contour_plot
  tm_implicit_plot
  tm_julia
  tm_mandelbrot
  tm_draw
  tm_draw2d
  tm_draw3d

tm_drawdf is not included, but you can use it as follows:
  load("drawdf")$
  tm_drawdf([params]) := (tm_draw(apply('df_graphics, params)), 0)$


I'm using macOS, but I expect that the new "texmacs-maxima.lisp" file will work well on other OS.

How to install the "texmacs-maxima.lisp" file to TeXmacs on macOS:

(0) Quit TeXmacs if it is running.

(1) Find the original "texmacs-maxima.lisp" file in TeXmacs in order to get the path.
----------------------------------------
$ find /Applications/TeXmacs-1.99.8.app -iname 'texmacs-maxima.lisp'
/Applications/TeXmacs-1.99.8.app/Contents/Resources/share/TeXmacs/plugins/maxima/lisp/texmacs-maxima.lisp
----------------------------------------

(2) Make a copy of the original "texmacs-maxima.lisp" file.
----------------------------------------
$ cp -ip /Applications/TeXmacs-1.99.8.app/Contents/Resources/share/TeXmacs/plugins/maxima/lisp/texmacs-maxima.lisp /Applications/TeXmacs-1.99.8.app/Contents/Resources/share/TeXmacs/plugins/maxima/lisp/texmacs-maxima.lisp.orig
----------------------------------------

(3) Replace the original "texmacs-maxima.lisp" file with the new one.
    (the following "$HOME/Downloads/texmacs-maxima.lisp" is a path to the new "texmacs-maxima.lisp")
----------------------------------------
$ cp -ip $HOME/Downloads/texmacs-maxima.lisp /Applications/TeXmacs-1.99.8.app/Contents/Resources/share/TeXmacs/plugins/maxima/lisp/texmacs-maxima.lisp
overwrite /Applications/TeXmacs-1.99.8.app/Contents/Resources/share/TeXmacs/plugins/maxima/lisp/texmacs-maxima.lisp? (y/n [n]) y
----------------------------------------

Have fun.

Thanks,
Tomio Arisaka
