Re: [Axiom-developer] Axiom graphics from inside TeXmacs?

Bill,

Thanks for the very informative reply!

I need time to digest all you said, but I just want to clarify one thing at this
moment:

No, I am not able to get graphics to appear in an X-window from
inside TeXmacs.  That's what I *want* to be able to do.

I have TeXmacs 1.0.4.4 (latest being 1.0.4.5).   I know the plugin calls
AXIOMsys, and I tried to make it call "axiom" or "sman" with no
immediate success.

My preliminary, high-level, thought is to go the postscript way as you suggest.
I've used the GnuPlot plugin for TeXmacs, that's what it does.
