NAME

       wxmaxima - wxWidgets interface for Maxima

SYNOPSIS

       wxmaxima  [-v] [-h] [-o <str>] [-e] [-b] [--logtostderr] [--pipe] [--exit-on-error] [-f <str>] [-u <str>]
       [-l <str>] [-X <str>] [-m <str>] [--enableipc] [input file...]

DESCRIPTION

       wxMaxima is a rather self-explanatory graphical front-end to  the  Maxima  computer  algebra  system.  It
       provides  a  graphical  interface and 2D formatted output display for Maxima. Its menu system facilitates
       access to a huge part of the Maxima native set of commands and also  to  a  browsable  Maxima  help.  The
       dialogue  windows  make  easy  the  introduction  of mathematical entities such as limits, matrices, etc.
       Besides that, it extends Maxima with a few powerful features like the ability to create diagrams with one
       parameter bound to a slider gui control.

       One can create worksheets, which can include mathematical cells (and  the  results)  but  also  different
       headlines, text cells, images, page breaks, etc.

       Maxima  is  a free (GPL) common lisp implementation based on the original computer algebra system Macsyma
       developed at MIT. It has full documentation (HTML and info) included.

       wxMaxima uses the cross-platform GUI toolkit wxWidgets and runs natively on many operative systems.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
              Help: prints a list of options.

       -v, --version
              Prints the current version.

       -b, --batch
              processes the file, saves it afterward. Will halt if wxMaxima finds an error message  in  Maxima's
              output and pause if Maxima asks a question.

       -o, --open=<str>
              Open a file at startup.

       -e, --eval=<str>
              Evaluate the file after opening it.

       --logtostderr
              Log all "debug messages" sidebar messages to stderr, too.

       --pipe Pipe messages from Maxima to stdout.

       --exit-on-error
              Close the program on any Maxima error.

       -f, --ini=<str>
              Allows specifying a file to store the configuration in

       -u, --use-version=<str>
              Use Maxima version <str>.

       -l, --lisp=<str>
              Use a Maxima compiled with lisp compiler <str>.

       -X, --extra-args=<str>
              Allows to specify extra Maxima arguments

       -m, --maxima=<str>
              Allows to specify the location of the Maxima binary.

       --enableipc
              Lets Maxima control wxMaxima via interprocess communications. Use this option with care.

FILES

       ~/.config/wxMaxima.conf
              The personal wxMaxima initialization file, where user-specific settings are stored.

       ~/.maxima/wxmaxima-init.mac
              If  the  Maxima user directory - usually ~/.maxima/ - contains a text file named wxmaxima-init.mac
              the contents of the file are passed to Maxima automatically every time a new  worksheet  has  been
              started.

BUGS

       If you find a bug in wxMaxima, please report it in the wxMaxima bug database

       (Please  check  first,  if  it  was  not  already  reported.) And if you have a fix, that would be great.
       wxMaxima is an open-source project, where you can contribute.

       If the issue is a mathematical bug, it might be a bug in Maxima (the backend, which does the mathematical
       computations), not wxMaxima (the graphical frontend).

       The Maxima bug database is available at Sourceforge
