Hello !! > What pictures are you looking at?
Things like those : sage: graphs.PetersenGraph().show() sage: graphs.RandomGNP(20,.3).show() I do not use the notebook, and when I display those pictures I usually toggle my picture viewer to fullscreen... At this level, the pictures I see are not that pretty, which clearly improves when dpi=300 for example :-) > I'm pretty sure we don't want the bitmaps in the notebook to be three > times as big as they are now (nor take longer to render/download).

No, as I said it is just to work with Sage and not have to produce pixelized pictures. It is also a bit better to show clean pictures when giving a talk about Sage on a projector ^^; This being said, you're right when you say it would produce very bad effects for notebook users, especially over internet. Would it have any meaning to set the dpi to 300 by default anyway, except when Sage is used through the notebook (I have no idea how such a thing is possible, but I guess there may be a way) ? In the end, the reason for this picture quality being the notebook, it doesn't seem "fair" to impact everybody because of this... This last sentence should be read knowing I have no idea how many Sage users prefer notebook to console, if you find it especially unconsiderate, just discard it :-) What would you think of changing the default dpi for graphs only ? Would it make any sense for you ? I'm fine if you think those are bad options... Your reasons are sound, and there may be other ways around.. I would really like Sage to display Graphs without pixels ^^; Nathann -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
