Meanwhile I looked into the responsible code and studied how Jmol/Tachyon is used in rendering images from 3d graphics via sphinx_plot() via ".. PLOT::" As generating these images is already automated, I would not advocate for switching to a manual way. Moreover, I now see that the automated way helps in keeping the documentation source small (while compiling the documentation takes longer). I just want to note that maintaining png files is no burden once added (either manually or in bulk using playwright) as the documentation rarely changes. The drawback of Jmol-generated png files is that they do not exactly correspond to what the user gets on his/her screen in a Jupyter notebook with the default viewer (threejs). I agree. Manually-generated images have the same benefit :-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
