I have made a few months ago the upgrade of mayavi experimental spkg to version 3.5, I forgot the ticket info now (you can search it by the name ets-3.5.0-20101024.p0.spkg), to install it you have to follow the guidelines in Jaap's page: http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/jsp/SPKGS/ETS, just

_None_ of those experimental packages work on my system. The first dependancy, wxPython-2.8.7.1.spkg give the following error (after taking ages compiling) In file included from ../src/gtk/gsockgtk.cpp:21: ../include/wx/gsocket.h:40: error: using typedef-name ‘GSocket’ after ‘class’ /usr/include/g

I currently have a function of three variables w=f(x,y,z), which I would like to plot in 3D if possible (e.g. via coloured plots) Does sage currently have support for plotting such functions? plot_vector_field3d has support for plotting vector fields of three variables, but there does not seem to

I am trying to use sage to create a 2D animation of the path of a lawnmower blade takes as it moves forwards. The variables would be the diameter of the rotor, the length of blade, how many blades, speed forward and RPM. The number I am looking to calculate out of this is the percentage of overlap
