13:19 <benny99> hi
13:30 <gabkdlly> benny99: hi
13:31 <benny99> is there a way to create a file "test.max" for example that "compiles to a picture"?
13:32 <benny99> so I could solve some equations etc. in maxima and draw functions etc. using gnuplot ?
13:36 <benny99> what I originally wanted to do: I got two functions f(x) and g(x), both linear -- I now want to find the intersection (solve(f(x)=g(x))), draw those two graphs and "mark the spot where they intersect"
13:36 <benny99> yep, my maxima-knowledge is extremely limited
13:38 <gabkdlly> you want a maxima script that takes some arguments and outputs a plotted file?
13:38 <benny99> nope
13:38 <benny99> without the arguments
13:38 <benny99> just a script that generates a plotted file
13:40 <benny99> or
13:41 <benny99> just a way to do something like "maxima solve(3*x=10-2*x)" and output the result on the shell
13:41 <benny99> maxima solve(3*x=10-2*x
13:41 <benny99> 2
13:42 <lindi-> benny99: man maxmia?
13:42 <lindi-> i see --batch-string
13:43 <lindi-> $ maxima -q --batch-string 'solve(3*x=10-2*x);'
13:43 <lindi-> (%i1)                        solve(3 x = 10 - 2 x)
13:43 <lindi-> (%o1)                               [x = 2]
14:06 <benny99> lindi-: thanks :)
14:07 <benny99> hm, but how could I get "2" only now?
14:07 <lindi-> $ maxima -q --batch-string 'ev(x, solve(3*x=10-2*x));'
14:07 <lindi-> (%i1)                    ev(x, solve(3 x = 10 - 2 x))
14:07 <lindi-> (%o1)         
14:07 <lindi-> $ maxima -q --batch-string 'ev(x, solve(3*x=10-2*x));'
14:07 <lindi-> (%i1)                    ev(x, solve(3 x = 10 - 2 x))
14:07 <lindi-> (%o1)                                  2
14:08 <lindi-> you evaluate "x" in the context of the solution
14:11 <benny99> and thanks again :)
14:15 <benny99> but it's not possible to print it without the (%o1) or is it?
14:16 <lindi-> benny99: what are you doing btw? ;)
14:16 <benny99> I'm trying to create a simple graph
14:16 <benny99> but it appears to be impossible
14:17 <benny99> I just want two f***ing graphs with a point at the intersection and a filled area beneath it
14:18 <lindi-> benny99: with some external program?
14:18 <benny99> it doesn't matter
14:18 <lindi-> i'm just trying to get the picture
14:18 <benny99> with any program that would be capable of doing that
14:18 <benny99> all I want is a picture of those two graphs
14:18 <benny99> for more than 12h now
14:19 <benny99> and now I'm even becoming offending :/... sorry
14:29 <benny99> lindi-: here, that's what I want in pseudo-maxima-script: http://pastebin.org/17852
14:32 <benny99> just foundhttp://maxima.sourceforge.net/maxima-gnuplot.shtml
14:32 <lindi-> gnuplot easy for simple things but imho becomes quite a kludge if you want something more complex
14:35 <benny99> well, I guess I know how I could realise it if I was able to do something like "plot f(x) with filledcurve x1" in maxima
14:35 <lindi-> there's some obscure way to pass gnuplot options from maxima :)
14:36 <benny99> plot2d(f(x),[gnuplot_plotoptions, ["with filledcurve x1"]) or something should be possible :(

14:45 <benny99> :/ nope, it's not
14:45 <benny99> ridiculous :|
15:01 <benny99> "but I mistakenly removed the old syntax for" <-- ah..
15:04 <benny99> andy [style...] does not make any sense
15:09 <benny99> great.
15:15 <benny99> horrible actually.
15:19 <benny99> quite horrible.
15:25 <benny99> I better give up
15:25 <benny99> it's impossible that's it -- bye
