[Maxima-discuss] cairolatex terminals for draw package

[Atri B. <bad...@op...>]

Hi,
I have written a (pretty straightforward) patch to support the
`cairolatex_pdf` and `cairolatex_pdf_standalone` gnuplot terminals for
the draw package and attach it here. The patch has undergone limited
testing on my own Linux system and it works; but I am not much of a
lisp programmer, so, more testing and any suggestions/corrections would
be most welcome. Gnuplot has had the `cairolatex` terminal with outputs
to pdf, png, and eps supported since version 4.6 (circa 2012), so this
should work with any 'modern' gnuplot installations. 

However, going through archives of this mailing list — arguably, I
should have done that before modifying code myself — I saw there were
already plans to include something similar here:
https://sourceforge.net/p/maxima/mailman/message/37332366/
and I wonder if I am duplicating any past effort.

Been a long time user of (wx)maxima and want to thank all the
developers for these amazing applications.

Best wishes,
