Congratulations on the slashdotting! Amazing how many things get verbed nowadays ;)
All this publicity has led some of my colleagues to finally notice SAGE, and one had a very nice question about whether it can do everything MATLAB does. In particular, there was a real-time viewing of the 2-d Ising model he really would like to see in SAGE. And one can in fact get everything to work with *much* nicer code, thanks to Python (and thanks to whoever wrote matrix_plot !), with the exception of the real-time updating part. The question: Is there any way to get SAGE to update a graphic without actually creating a new graphic, either in command-line mode or in notebook? Obviously flooding the screen with graphics is not what he has in mind, but I couldn't find any documentation on whether this was possible yet. (On a side note, the graphic aspect of the interface is one of the weakest points of SAGE for the undergrad teaching side of things. It 'should be' easy as pie to create a 3-d graphic of some bizarre function that students can automatically view from all angles or even zoom with their mouse.) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://sage.math.washington.edu/sage/ and http://sage.scipy.org/sage/ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
