Anyone have a patch? I want that too. :) I don't have any patch. Besides jmol doesn't work for me, so I'll wait for the canvas thing or something else (or maybe java will become usable till then). I guess in couple years, interactive 3D stuff will be a common thing in the browser. > There is talk of a html5 canvas backend for matplotlob, and various > other 2d plotting options. None have been implemented/integrated yet. Thanks William for explaining it, I think that answer all my questions for now. I just implement show with all the options, that's all I need. Actually one more question --- if I run the terminal, e.g. ipython, then you have your own hook in ipython (executed after each command) which checks which files were generated (in ~/.sage/temp) and does the right thing (e.g. calling jmol or some viewer for the image?). The code seems to be in misc/interpreter.py, but right now I can't find the place where this is hooked into ipython. I also didn't find the hooks in ~/.sage/ipythonrc. I'll search further.
