1Install imaxima by unpacking the tarball and doing the usual incantation
2
3 ./configure
4 make
5 make install
6
7and put
8
9 (autoload 'imaxima "imaxima" "Image support for Maxima." t)
10
11in your `.emacs' file.
12
13If you want to use imath-mode, put
14
15 (autoload 'imath-mode "imath" "Interactive Math minor mode." t)
16
17in your `.emacs' file, too.
18
19To do line breaking imaxima requires the LaTeX package `breqn'. This
20package is officially distributed by Morten H�gholm from:
21http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/mh
22as mh.zip.
23
24Alternatively, for the easy installation, you may download:
25http://members3.jcom.home.ne.jp/imaxima/breqn097a.zip
26
27The files in `breqn' must be installed in a place where TeX can find
28them. In a typical teTeX installation you should put the `*.sty' and
29`*.sym' files in
30
31 `/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/breqn/'
32
33and the documentation files in
34
35 `/usr/share/texmf/doc/latex/breqn/'.
36
37The files can also be installed in a number of other places - consult
38your TeX documentation for details.
39
40Now run `texhash' after installing the files. You can use `kpsewhich'
41to verify that TeX is able to find the files, e.g.
42
43 kpsewhich breqn.sty
44
45To get the best image quality a fairly recent version of Ghostscript
46is recommended. See the Info manaul for options suitable for using
47older versions of Ghostscript or not using Ghostscript at all.
48
49From the version 1.0 beta, imaxima and imath supports inline graph
50capability. That is, special plotting commands such as wxplot2d()
51can be used in imaxima and the resulted graph appears in the
52*imaxima* session buffer in Emacs. Similarly, you can use the same
53special plotting commands in a maxima formula in imath mode buffers.
54Such formula are converted to graph image in imath mode.
55
56To do so, you need to install GNUPLOT 4.2 or later. Your Maxima
57should be 5.12.0 or later.
