[sage-edu] SEG-Y in SAGE

2009-01-14 Thread leonardoparada

Hello my name is Leonardo:
I would like learn more about work withs seg-y format in SAGE.
Any body working about this?
Thanks

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SEG_Y, seg-y is a data format for
geophysics. How do you plan on using this in Sage?

You might try installing this python module, which should work fine in Sage:

http://segymat.sourceforge.net/segypy/

To use the above you have to replace every instance  numarray in
segypy.py with numpy.

[sage-edu] Re: Sage 3.1.1 liveCD

2009-01-14 Thread mhampton

The tachyon raytracing uses the tachyon class, called Tachyon.  If you
type Tachyon? you will get a help file.

Sometimes it is nicer to work more directly work with tachyon, which
can be done by creating an instance of that class:
sage: t = Tachyon()

Then you can explicitly control the camera, lighting, raydepth, etc.
There are various examples of this in the documentation - if you do
sage: search_doc('tachyon')

you will get links to these.

2009-01-14 Thread A. Jorge Garcia

Thanx for all the tips!

OK, I tried Tachyon? and the help file works.

I also tried rendering some ray tracings as suggested in Tachyon? by
constructing t=Tachyon() objects and all works very nicely!

Some questions about Tachyon:
(1) Is this the same tachyon by John Stone?  If so, how is this a
python file?  I found John Stone's website documenting tachyon and its
12 years old!  Was python so robust back in 1997 or even in use?
(2) Are there sample scene files for tachyon a la povray?  I see many
such scenes on the afore mentioned website.
(3) Can povray scene files be converted to tachyon format?
(4) Was the chess scene in Yi Qiang's demo of dSage (http://
www.msri.org/communications/vmath/VMathVideos/VideoInfo/2988/show_video)
made using tachyon or povray?

Yes, it's the same Tachyon.  It's not a Python file.  Sage is writing
a file which the command-line version of Tachyon reads as input.

In the tachyon source tarball, there are many example scene files,
including the examples shown on the website.

> (3) Can povray scene files be converted to tachyon format?

I don't know of any way to do this, but that probably is not saying a whole lot.

It was made using POVray using the DistributedPOVRay class in Sage.
Sage can make use of povray if it is installed, but we can distribute
it due to licensing issues.

The syntax of a tachyon input file and a Sage Tachyon() constructor seem  
different.  Are these input files good samples of how to use Tachyon() in  Sage?

OK, what class are the "Distributed..." apps in so I can see their  
associated help files?  Is this class only available when running  dSage?

You might find this thread useful:

http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support/browse_thread/thread/af6c9cceb022017d/d5a238ed5cc009ff

There are also a few examples at:
http://wiki.sagemath.org/pics

although I think its fair to say that all of them are relatively
simple.

The tachyon interface has not been used heavily by sage users to
date.  Keep the questions coming!
