Hi Robert,

Great thanks! implicit_plot works well.

I am running Maxima on Debian and this is the default release. Any idea on how to get updates easily on Debian?

Using Debian basically means that you absolutely don't want to be surprised by updates, but want to profit from a quite active team that cherry-picks small Bugfixes for the packages you have installed.

The best way of getting a new version might be to compile it yourself or to try a package from https://code.launchpad.net/~peterpall/+archive/ubuntu/wxmaxima-nightlies

Kind regards,

Gunter.

One way to get an up to date version is to build it from source code. This is pretty straightforward on Linux systems. Download a tar.gz from the "Files" tab above this page, and then:

$ sudo apt-get install texinfo
$ sudo apt-get install sbcl
$ tar xvzf maxima-5.nnn.tar.gz
$ cd maxima-5.nnn
$ ./configure --enable-sbcl
$ make
$ sudo make install

About texinfo, it's for building the documentation, and it might not be installed already. About SBCL, it's a Lisp implementation, and I recommend it. Other Lisp implementations are workable, too,

Another approach is to install a wxmaxima package from the peterpall package repository mentioned by Gunter. I believe that installs command line maxima in addition to the wxmaxima GUI, although I'm not 100% sure.

That may be true for Debian stable. Debian testing has the latest release of maxima.

For the record, I see that the example given in the original bug report, plot2d (x^2-y^3+3*y=2, [x,-2.5,2.5], [y,-2.5,2.5])$, works as expected with recent versions of Maxima, I think the plot2d(f(x, y) = c, ...) syntax was introduced in Maxima 5.45. Anyway I just tried it with current Git version (post-5.45) and it works as expected.

Of course it works, because that example was taken from the manual (https://maxima.sourceforge.io/docs/manual/maxima_64.html)
