That is not why this 3d plotting on the command line bug wasn't caught. None of the doctests would have even run jmol. When doing 3d plotting in doctests, jmol isn't used at all (it would pop up a window, which doesn't make sense for a doctest). Also, note that many of my build machines don't even have java installed, so jmol won't work on them anyways. > Is there a way for doctests to check > that Jmol actually starts, or how do they deal with things like that? > It would be a shame for something similar to happen in the future, > especially on an otherwise fantastic release. True. I of course did think about this, but didn't think of any good solution. Given that this has come up exactly once ever, I'm less worried about it. > > - kcrisman > > On Dec 29, 2:32 am, William Stein <wst...@gmail.com> wrote: >> On Mon, Dec 28, 2009 at 10:30 PM, William Stein <wst...@gmail.com> wrote: >> > On Mon, Dec 28, 2009 at 4:08 PM, Chris Godsil <cgod...@uwaterloo.ca> wrote: >> >> Under sage-4.2, the command P.show3d() works, giving a jmol drawing. >> >> From what a very quick look >> >> revealed, the result of P.=show3d? is the same under sage 4.2 and 4.3. >> >> >> I am reporting this chiefly as a data point. >> >> > Thanks.
