Nick, As a compromise between you and Jason Grout I just went through the plot code and made sure all the print statements are replaced by calls to the verbose(...) function. This is a compromise because they're calls with the option level=0, so people will see them unless they type set_verbose(-1), in which case they all vanish. You could put that in your init.sage file. -- William --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
