Many of users do not use powerful Maxima computer algebra system for systematic work, but for ad hoc algebraic calculations – equations, functions, matrixes, etc. only. To do this job, it is not useful to download the whole application from a web site.
Function: set_plot_option (<option>) Accepts most of the options listed in the section Plotting Options, and saves them into the global variable plot_options.
