The main issue here is the labeling of objects using symbols. I saw a
posting from William Stein at
http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support/browse_thread/thread/fed33b91e4700969/6c1073f9bcc4928d?hl=en&lnk=gst&q=latex+text+in+plot#6c1073f9bcc4928d
which (though directed at the text() command instead of text3d()),
indicated I should be able to use
text3d('$\\rho$', (1,1,1))
(the double backslash was important) to place a desired Greek symbol in
a desired location. That seems not to be working, however. Instead,
the backslash characters seem (sometimes) to wipe out the first letter,
and the rest of "ho" is printed, along with the dollar signs. Is this a
bug?
The text (2d) command understands latex, but the 3d command does not.
The problem is that jmol (the 3d viewer) does not understand latex.
Thanks,
Jason
