Yes. It would be a programming interface of the model. I do think that having a graphical interface such as geogebra has is really > a plus for these applications, though, > No intention to compete with geogebra with a graphical interface. Rather it would be a competition as like latex vs word. Really tikz does that in the latex world. But sage could have some functionality of tikz, working directly with sage graphics objects. > In my experience, the tweaking of graphics for publication is what takes > by far the most time, so the more interface for that the better. > Yes. We can view it as a way to tweak the graphics objects to get the matplotlib object we want. For example, we can easily draw a pentagon in sage, but tweaking the pentagon using the edges and vertices of the pentagon seems difficult. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
