Why specifying `stylesheet` parameter in plot function causes error?
I'm disappointed by how the default plot style looks, so I decided to find some fancier stylesheet. The official documentation says:
MATPLOTLIB STYLE SHEET OPTION:
stylesheet
- (Default: classic) Support for loading a full matplotlib style sheet. Any style sheet listed in matplotlib.pyplot.style.available is acceptable. If a non-existing style is provided the default classic is applied.
When I try it with a simple example, I get
plot(sin, stylesheet="ggplot")
...
RuntimeError: Error in line(): option 'stylesheet' not valid.
However I found that this alternative works:
plot(sin).show(stylesheet="ggplot")
This is ugly, because I use IPython CLI and want to be able to show the plot by this syntax
p = plot(sin)
p
without typing .show()
.
Moreover, I'd like to configure my .sage/init.sage
file so that the 'ggplot' stylesheet is used by default:
# .sage/init.sage
plot.options["stylesheet"] = "ggplot"
This doesn't work though, for sage substitutes this option into line()
function which appears to have no such option.
Questions:
Is this a bug, or a mistake in (my understanding of) the documentation? Should it be reported and if yes, where is the best place to do it?
How do I achieve custom plotting style by default (perhaps by some setting in the
init.sage
file)?
I'm using SageMath version 9.5, Release Date: 2022-01-30 with Python 3.10.2, all downloaded from ArchLinux official repos.
