This is due to the different preprocessing by SMath in the individual ways to call the maxima function. This is revealed by displaying the full maxima log.
If the expressions are evaluated in wxmaxima you get the same difference, so it is native Maxima behaviour. I'd call it a bug. This bug doesn't appear
if the assumptions are made explicitly.

Hello everyone,

I have added a few new features to the Maxima plugin, and it is now marked as beta. To download it from the extension manager, please uncheck the "exclude beta version" option.






Here are the changes in the latest update:

• Automatic search for Maxima in the C:\\ drive. If you have none installed, it will prompt for installation.
  
• Installation dialog with download bar and statuses
  
• Automatic download of the latest version of Maxima and silent installation with the user's permission.
  
• A new settings dialog with an install option.
  
• some bug fixes from the Bug tracking system

Installer Form


Settings Form



Maxima Installation:

To install maxima (if you don't have it on your computer), you can run any Maxima function such as MaximaTakeover() or install the maxima software via the setting form (Insert > Maxima > Settings).

The installer form will appear and immediately initiate the download of the latest Maxima installer from the internet. Once the download is completed successfully, a prompt screen will appear requesting admin privileges. Please grant admin privileges by clicking "Yes" on the prompt. The installer will then run silently. After a few minutes, the status bar at the bottom left of the installer will indicate that the installation was successful, and the "Finish" button will be enabled. Please click on the "Finish" button to complete the installation process.


A more detailed examples of the bug fixes can be found in the following attachment: Update20.sm (78kb) downloaded 6 time(s).


I encourage you to try out this new update and provide feedback to help me further improve the plugin. If you encounter any bugs, please don't hesitate to let me know, and I will work on fixing them. More update will be added in the future.

Thank you!

Very nice, worked flawlessly for me (Win11 Pro 22H2)

The "draw" snippet has been updated. It contains the functions draw2D(2), draw2D(3) and draw3D(2), draw3D(3).

Changes:

- now supports pdf (recommended), png and svg format
- Modified default grid and axes
- default axes labels

Due to problems with the DocumentDirectory function, the file name must be absolute. It may happen that a relative path also works but that is unreliable.
The command "grid=false" doesn't work for removing the grid, you have to use a direct gnuplot command (user_preamble), as shown below. In the Plugin functions, we could implement a workaround (creating the preamble-entry when grid=false is found in the commands)

snippet "draw" is updated.

The file name handling has been improved
- if the name is just the extension, then a temporary file name is generated as recommended by Alvaro (and as was standard behaviour in the plugin Draw functions)
- if a relative file name is given (test by not finding ":" in it), it is augmented by the document directory. If the file is not saved, the temp dir is used.
- any full name is used as is.

Please note that there might be visual bugs present as this is still in development. I encourage you to test out this new update and share feedback to aid in further plugin improvement. If any bugs are encountered, please inform me, and I'll address them promptly. Expect more updates in the future.

A new updated has been released as beta version that can be accessed using the SMath Extension Manager.

In this update:

1. Added Maxima Toolbox which can be found on the right side of the software.



2. Added cross product of vectors function which can be accessed by Cross() or clicking the "x" symbol in the Maxima toolbox.



3. Integrated custom glyphs for Maxima plugin which was previously handled by Custom Glyphs plugin.

4. Added "Help" and "Restart" into the "Insert" menu entry. Clicking the "Help" will redirect the user to local Maxima documentation (if maxima is installed). Clicking on the restart button will restart maxima.



5. Added mouse interaction to the 3D draw region. Plotscale can be done by holding Ctrl button while scrolling the mouse. Meanwhile Z-Scale can be done by holding Shift button while scrolling the mouse. Fixed bugs related to the draw region and scaling of windows form according to the scale of the screen.


Huge thanks to Davide Carpi for helping us with the Custom Glyphs and the Toolbox!

Unfortunately it is not available.
You can install but it won't communicate with maxima.
Actually it should be easier to parse linux command outputs from/to mono smath.
But since we are even a smaller community, maxima support under linux is at bottom of todo list.

Unfortunately, the current plugin does not work on Linux. A problem has been identified but not yet resolved. When compiling the plugin in a Linux environment, the code that is responsible for Linux functions correctly (though Maxima can't draw anything, which is related to Maxima on Linux itself).

When compiling the plugin using the release manager of SMath (assuming it is on Windows) and downloading the plugin on SMath in Linux, the code responsible for Linux is not executed. Perhaps this is related to Mono itself, but I am not sure yet. I will check this in the coming weeks.
