Izic
Izic is a plotting package using the ZIC library, developed at INRIA. It is now years out of date but still has some very interesting capabilities. There is a Maxima interface to Izic, but it has not been tested in years. The source code is in the module izic in cvs. Also available:

Presentations
Our project leader James Amundson created these presentations about Maxima. Probably a little dated now, but lots of good info.

XREF diagrams
XREF is a lisp tool to determine relationships in Lisp source code. These plots were created using the output from XREF and a program called graphviz. Not particularly useful, but interesting in that they display the complexity of the source code.
