The 3-dimensional plots in SageMath are quite good, and easy to use. In particular moving the camera angle interactively in the sage worksheet is very helpful. But I can't figure out how to output the image as .svg or .pdf...
The journal requires .svg or .pdf. I can re-compute all the figures in SageMath, but I can't figure out how to output an .svg or .pdf. Is there a way?
The docstring of the save method says:
Save the graphic in a file.
The file type depends on the file extension you give in the filename. This can be either:
an image file (of type: PNG, BMP, GIF, PPM, or TIFF) rendered using Jmol (default) or Tachyon,
a Sage object file (of type ".sobj") that you can load back later (a pickle),
an HTML file depicting the graphic using the Three.js viewer,
a data file (of type: X3D, STL, AMF, PLY) for export and use in other software.
For data files, the support is only partial. For instance STL and AMF only works for triangulated surfaces. The prefered format is X3D.
A workaround, possible not the best, could be save in one of these formats and convert to the one you want.
