In-line graphics for Sage in ipython notebook?

I am running Sage on a local machine (OS X Mavericks) from an ipython notebook. Everything works fine except that I don't have pretty printing or in-line graphics (2D or 3D) -- the graphics launch in Preview.app. Is it possible to obtain either of these features in the ipython notebook interface?

I don't have ipython notebook installed either system wide or in sage. Perhaps the instructions in the following website helps?

Thanks for the link. I put the suggested lines in my init file, but they only apply to figures generated through matplotlib (not plots generated using the Sage plot command).

You can post this in sage-support. I don't know of any trivial way to do this.

I have the same question here. Hope there is a way to solve it.

Hi,

With a recent version of Sage (at least 6.6, but 6.7 (released 2 days ago!) is recommended), 2D and 3D inline plots in the IPython notebook work nicely when the notebook is started by the command

sage -n ipython

The link points to my website, which I recently updated. The only way I found at the moment to plot inline was to enter this in the IPython notebook:

 %load_ext sage
 from IPython.display import display, Image
 x = var('x')
 plot(sin(x), 0, 2*pi, figsize=4).save('/tmp/foo.png')
 display(Image('/tmp/foo.png')
