When I say high-quality zoomable, I mean publication quality (see the kind of plots that appear in Science, American Scientist, Nature or any American Chemical Society or American Institute of Physics journals) and interactively zoomable by click and drag. To be useable for most people they also need GUI adjustment of colors, symbols, etc. I started to work on some of these features for the 3-D graphics, but simply do not have the time necessary. Anyway, I like Sage a lot, but we are very short on resources to bring things to the necessary level in the user interface. The backend is good some places and not others, but is potentially very strong and robust because of the use of other packages. As I track this discussion, I think that I like the idea of focusing on how to make all these things easily added and removed packages as necessary. Maybe ipython/jupyter with good pypi packaging (I'm still not clear on how to package non-python stuff this way) is the way to go. That would change Sagemath a lot, but might be a better use of resources. Jonathan Jonathan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
