I enter M-x maxima in the Emacs command line and after this Emacs behaves like a terminal, enabling Maxima to show calculations results and plotting graphs by invoking gnuplots. It would be interesting to show the whole flux of calculations as Latex formulas and the whole plots inside Emacs (and not inside gnuplot) as in the package which inspired me in giving this proposal, Imaxima (you can find it at http://members3.jcom.home.ne.jp/imaxima/) > >> Would it be possible to use preview-latex in order to display formulas >> and results of numerical computations in a LaTeX format, ready to be >> included in scientific documentation? > > Why would you need preview-latex for that purpose?

However, the way of displaying Maxima calculations I have in mind is as more or less like Imaxima, which show fourmulas inside typed text in a way similar to preview-latex Thank you for you attention Daniele Tampieri _______________________________________________ auctex mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/auctex
