Thanks but, these methods are not wholly adequate for my purposes. I have been investigating the mayavi python package and the examples given here http://code.enthought.com/projects/mayavi/docs/development/html/mayavi/mlab_case_studies.html#mlab-case-studies
Apparently sagemath has support for mayavi, but when I follow the instructions here http://www.sagemath.org/doc/numerical_sage/installation_osx.html I get an error sage: install_package("python-2.5.1-framework") ValueError: There is no package name starting with 'python-2.5.1- framework'. And so on for the other commands in the page. I'm wondering if mayavi has been removed from sage, or whether its functionality is now part of the core packages?
