Hey,

when you view some object or plot some graph, then sage will start your system pdf viewer or image viewer.

My problem: I use a tiling window manager (bspwm) and I want my pdf viewer and image viewer to start in floating mode if started by sage.

So is there a way of changing the commands of the execution of the pdf- and image-viewer? (Or do you know any solution to my problem?)

Big thanks! Johann

For changing the default pdf viewer command to command --option=foobar, you can do:

from sage.misc.viewer import viewer
viewer.pdf_viewer("command --option=foobar")

Similarly use viewer.png_viewer for images.

Thanks a lot, this works perfectly!

Let me ask something on top: Is is possible to view plot as SVG instead of PNG? I know you can save them as SVG, but can you also configure that they are viewed by default as SVG?

Thanks again for your quick and perfect answer!
