animate does not currently support 3D. There are quite a few possible solutions to this, but none have been completely implemented yet.
One option is to install ffmpeg, and use it to animate individual frames produced by Tachyon. This is how I am currently making 3D animations with Sage. However, its not clear that ffmpeg is completely free of patent issues, so it probably won't get in to Sage as a standard component ever. It might be possible to use just the theora or dirac codecs but I don't have much experience with them. A more promising option for the notebook is use a html/javascript solution. A first step would be to make 2D animations that way, which was attempted in the following ticket: http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/1483 Unfortunately I stalled in the review process for that, hopefully someone will breathe some life in it soon. As browsers continue to evolve and javascript implementations improve this will probably be the best solution. -Marshall Hampton On Oct 20, 8:33 pm, QuantumDream <m.cohomol...@gmail.com> wrote: > In 2d the following code works fine > ================================================ > a = animate([point([k,k^2], pointsize=50, rgbcolor='red') for k in > srange(-1,2,0.5)], xmin=-2, xmax=2, ymin=-1, ymax=5) > a.show() > ================================================= > > Now if I try to do something like: > ================================================== > a = animate([point([k,k^2,-k], pointsize=50, rgbcolor='red') for k in > srange(-1,2,0.5)]) > a.show() > ================================================== > > I get errors that the Point object is not callable. > > Any ideas how to resolve this? > > Thanks, > -M. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ 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 URL: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
