It also implements its own display engine that outputs 19 mathematical symbols directly instead of depicting them with 20 ASCII characters. 21 </p> 22 <p> 23 wxMaxima also features 2D and 3D inline plots, simple animations, 24 mixing of text and mathematical calculations to create documents, 25 exporting of input and output to TeX, document structuring and a 26 browser for Maxima's manual including command index and full text 27 searching. 28 </p> 29 </description> 30 <screenshots> 31 <screenshot type="default"> 32
