If you want to save and view this output in a temporary directory, you can
get one with tmp_dir [1]. And, if you want the old functionality, you can
use graphics_filename [2]. Note that the latter isn't automatically
imported to the global namespace, so you need to do it manually. A simple
way would be
from sage.misc.temporary_file import graphics_filename as gf
And then use it like this:
for i in range(10):
plot(sin(i*x),-1,1).save(gf())
