yup, I was just alluding to fact that if you use the default viewer you're stuck. As you say, you can use Tachyon but then you can't rotate the 3D graphs!

BTW, I know it may sound strange, but I know all about Tachyon as that's how I originally discovered SAGE. At the time I was playing with 3D ray tracers like Tachyon and povray. I found a video demoing dSAGE running a povray plot and was instantly hooked on SAGE. I really should figure out how to distribute SAGE
jobs over a cluster....

Thanx,

I had a problem with SAGE on my iPod Touch.  Everything worked fine

not installed on Safari.  Apparently this is a restriction on the
iTouch, there's no way to install jre for Safari on iTouch.  I've seen
it installed on a MacBook Pro, however.

If you don't do 3D graphs, I think you're fine.  I just don't know if
the iPad has the same restrictions as the iTouch....


By the way, 3D graphs *will* work without Java, but you would need to
view them statically.

sage: var('y')
sage: plot3d(x^2 + y^2, (x,-2,2), (y,-2,2),viewer='tachyon')

This is unfortunately buried in the documentation, and not in
sage: plot3d?
