Sage Art

This page contains animations drawn using Sage. One can create an animation (.gif) in Sage from a list of graphics objects using the animate command. Currently, to export an animation in .gif format, you might need to install the ImageMagick command line tools package (the convert command). See the documentation for more information:

Sage plotting

Here are some python plotting engines/libraries:

Older/not python dedicated:
- Grace: grace, python interface
- PGPLOT: ppgplot, pgplot, pygplot
- PLplot: http://www.plplot.org
- opemath: Written by William Schelter and part of Maxima (thus also Sage) is a TCL/Tk plotting program which allows for interactive viewing. It has no separate download page. An example is this saddle: sage: maxima.eval("plot3d(2^(-u^2+v^2),[u,-1,1],[v,-1,1],[plot_format, openmath]);")
- Dislin: dislin, disipyl (a python wrapper for dislin). It's license says dislin is "free for non-commercial use".
- Pyqwt at http://pyqwt.sourceforge.net/ is a plotting package requiring QT. It seems to have some 3d capabilities http://pyqwt.sourceforge.net/pyqwt3d-examples.html.
Currently developed / good:
- matplotlib: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net
- Tachyon: http://jedi.ks.uiuc.edu/~johns/raytracer/
Under active development:
- Jmol: http://jmol.sourceforge.net/

Sage's plotting functionality is built on top of matplotlib, which is a very extensive plotting library with a user interface that is very similar to Matlab's plotting. The interface that Sage provides to matplotlib is very Mathematica like.

There are also several links to plotting/graphics/data visualization programs at the scipy wiki.

This page contains animations drawn using [[https://www.sagemath.org|Sage]]. One can create an animation (.gif) in Sage from a list of graphics objects using the {{{animate}}} command. Currently, to export an animation in .gif format, you might need to install the [[https://www.imagemagick.org|ImageMagick]] command line tools package (the ``convert`` command).

Here are some python plotting engines/libraries:

   Older/not python dedicated:
       * Grace: [[http://plasma-gate.weizmann.ac.il/Grace/|grace]], [[http://www.idyll.org/~n8gray/code|python interface]]
       * PGPLOT: [[http://efault.net/npat/hacks/ppgplot|ppgplot]], [[http://www.astro.caltech.edu/~tjp/pgplot/|pgplot]], [[http://astro.swarthmore.edu/~burns/pygplot/|pygplot]]
       * PLplot: http://www.plplot.org
       * opemath: Written by William Schelter and part of Maxima (thus also Sage) is a TCL/Tk plotting program which allows for interactive viewing. It has no separate download page. An example is this [[http://modular.math.washington.edu/home/wdj/art/saddle.png|saddle]]: {{{sage: maxima.eval("plot3d(2^(-u^2+v^2),[u,-1,1],[v,-1,1],[plot_format, openmath]);")}}}
       * Dislin: [[http://www.mps.mpg.de/dislin/|dislin]], [[http://kim.bio.upenn.edu/~pmagwene/disipyl.html|disipyl]] (a python wrapper for dislin). It's license says dislin is "free for non-commercial use". 
       * Pyqwt at http://pyqwt.sourceforge.net/ is a plotting package requiring QT. It seems to have some 3d capabilities http://pyqwt.sourceforge.net/pyqwt3d-examples.html.
   Currently developed / good:
       * matplotlib: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net
       * Tachyon: http://jedi.ks.uiuc.edu/~johns/raytracer/
   Under active development:
       * Jmol: http://jmol.sourceforge.net/

Sage's plotting functionality is built on top of matplotlib, which is a
very extensive plotting library with a user interface that is very similar to Matlab's plotting.
The interface that Sage provides to matplotlib is very Mathematica like.

There are also several links to plotting/graphics/data visualization programs at the scipy [[https://www.scipy.org/Topical_Software#head-b98ffdb309ccce4e4504a25ea75b5c806e4897b6|wiki]].
