Hello

I have a quick question about using maxima to generate plots from data files. The first file.dat contains a single numeric value on each row, the second file.dat contains 2 numeric values separated by a space on each row. I have to get the plot for each file and format it but I cannot figure out how to do this.

On the document The Maxima package draw in the wxMaxima GUI Version 0.40, there is a section for file handling, it says that data_file_name is the name of the file with the numeric data needed, however the examples for draw2d uses a function defined at explicit(). In this case I have no function to plot, just the values contained in files.

During class teacher gave us the code for GNUPlot which is:

set term png
set output "traza1a.png"
set xlabel Vuelta de transmision
set ylabel cwnd [segmentos]
set title Ventana de congestion de TCP plot "tcpplot2.dat" with lp linetype 3

And actually he did it on Octave and showed us the results. I have only plotted explicit functions and very basic stuff, how do I translate that into Maxima syntax? I attach an image of the resulting plot. Please let me know any document or information related to this. Thank you
