Hello,
in a STACK question I am using the plot() function for general feedback.
Yet I don't manage to display an x axis label using the [xlabel, "text"] object. According to the github documentation xlabel should be supported.
Please find the question in the attachment.
Thanks for any hint.

Ok, I've had a quick look with these minimal examples.
Q:[discrete,0,0],[0,2/5],[3,2/5],[5,-(8/5)]; M:if x < 3 then (2*x)/5 else (8*(5-x))/5-(5-x)^2/2;
and castext
{@plot( [Q, M], [x,0,5], [xlabel,"x/a"], grid2d,[legend, "F_Q/(q_0 a)", "M/(q_0 a^2)"],[y,-2.1,1.78],[box,false],[axes,solid])@}
{@plot(x^2,[x,-3,3],[y,-3,10],[xlabel,"This is x squared"])@}
The second plot does have the x-label plot in STACK, but your plot does not produce the x-label in desktop Maxima! So, I think this is a "Maxima thing" rather than a "STACK thing" (!). Sorry not to be more helpful, but could have a look at this issue using desktop Maxima? If you need a bug fix, let me know and I'll help.
Thank you for the hint. Lookup in the Maxima docs confirms that unboxed plots ignore axis labels.
After messing around with smart placement of [label, ["text", x,y]] I gave up and ended up with completely abandoning annotations in the graph, because iterative adjustment for random plots isn't something which I want to go through every time when I make such a plot.
Instead I put a text line with explanations above the plot. This gives me a level of control which plot() never will.
