Wow, what service! If Google groups were easier to use, we could track down more such requests :)
I'd like to point out that http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/5128 might also be relevant - Dan D., can you comment on whether an eventual solution to that ticket would take care of this? (I assume, out of ignorance, that there isn't anything else obvious one can do to the current SageTeX package or Sage to do this directly.) - kcrisman > > > Hi, > > > I would like to add plots to a document using sagetex and my script > > uses matplotlib to generate the plot.
