14 wxmaxima is a rather self-explanatory graphical front-end to the Maxima
15 computer algebra system. It provides a graphical interface and 2D for‐
16 matted output display for Maxima. Its menu system facilitates the
17 access to a huge part of the Maxima native set of commands and also to
18 a browsable Maxima help. The dialogue windows make easy the introduc‐
19 tion of mathematical entities such as limits, matrices, etc. Besides
20 that it extends Maxima with a few powerful features like the ability to
21 create diagrams with one parameter bound to a slider gui control.
22 Maxima is a free (GPL) common lisp implementation based of the original
24 computer algebra system Macsyma developed at MIT. It has full documen‐
25 tation (HTML and info) included.
26 wxMaxima uses the cross-platform GUI toolkit wxWidgets and runs
28 natively on many operative systems.

32 -h, --help
33 Help: prints a list of options.
34 -v, --version
37 Prints the current version.
38 -b, --batch

42 finds an error message in Maxima's output and pause if Maxima
43 asks a question.
44 -o, --open=<str>
47 Open a file at startup.
48 -e, --eval=<str>
51 Evaluate the file after opening it.
52 --logtostdout
55 Log all "debug messages" sidebar messages to stderr, too.
56 --pipe Pipe messages from Maxima to stdout.
59 --exit-on-error
62 Close the program on any Maxima error.
63 -f, --ini=<str>
66 Allows to specify a file to store the configuration in
67 -u, --use-version=<str>
70 Use Maxima version <str>.
71 -l, --lisp=<str>
74 Use a Maxima compiled with lisp compiler <str>.
75 -X, --extra-args=<str>
78 Allows to specify extra Maxima arguments
79 -m, --maxima=<str>
82 allows to specify the location of the Maxima binary

86 If you find a bug in wxMaxima, please report it in the wxMaxima bug
87 database at
88 https://github.com/wxMaxima-developers/wxmaxima/issues
90 (Please check first, if it was not already reported.) And if you have a
92 fix, that would be great. wxMaxima is an open source project, where you
93 can contribute.
94 If the issue is a mathematical bug, it might be a bug in Maxima (the
96 backend, which does the mathematical computations), not wxMaxima (the
97 graphical frontend).
98 The Maxima bug database is available at
100 https://sourceforge.net/p/maxima/bugs/
