Just a question:

Is it possible to set the background color so that both 4.6 and 4.4
understand it?

We have a problem with Maxima, which uses Gnuplot for plotting. With
4.6, we get errors due to old code, but if I update the interface to
the new syntax, users with older Gnuplot versions will then have a
similar problem.

Is there a work-around for this, please?

By the way, the web site with examples of Maxima's 'draw' package have
been moved to sourceforge:

http://riotorto.users.sourceforge.net/gnuplot

The link in

http://gnuplot.info/links.html

points to the older place. Perhaps you can change it.

Thanks.
