Rob, indeed excellent ideas since tkz-arith.sty did seem to be needed along with the two other packages, but only two \\usepackage commands. My tex installation automatically had pgf and tikz, but those would probably also be good things to include for clarity along with moving the documentation about how to check if they are installed such as check_tkz_graph() and have_tkz_graph() from http://www.sagemath.org/doc/reference/sage/graphs/graph_latex.html to perhaps the top explanatory part or another howto. Also I had no idea where to put tkz-berge, tkz-gerge, etc. I just guessed, and it happened to work after I figured out I needed texhash. Also the standalone document suggestion is good too, perhaps all the way up to a full minimal header or a full minimal document for those that want to include a Sage generated graph into their documents with the greatest of ease. And if dvipng wasn't the change I certainly can't think of anything else that caused the Unknown environment "tikzpicture" error to go away. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-support-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
