Possibly. That would result in essentially the same work-flow as Sébastien's solution, but with less effort. If I were new to Sage I would *expect* there to be a fully automatic method, where I can do something along the lines of scene1 = plot3d( ... ) scene2 = interactively_choose_camera_position(scene1) scene2.show(renderer="myfavoriteone") or scene1 = plot3d(...) jmol_view_object = view_with_jmol(scene1) //prompt returns; some interaction with jmol window scene2 = jmol_view_object.snapshot() scene2.show(renderer="myfavoriteone") where view_with_jmol and/or interactively_choose_camera_position would probably be methods rather than functions. If the jmol app would listen on stdin for "give camera postion" and then would output it on stdout, then from the command line, the second approach would already be implementable. However, me expecting that is not the same as a lot of people using that workflow frequently! So at this point I wouldn't be pushing anyone to actually implement it. It's good to know that technically people have an idea for how to accomplish it and I suppose in general it would be instructive to have the infrastructure in place to do this via command line and/or the notebook. -- 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
