I have created 2 text strings in a sage notebook and 2 figures with Matplotlib. I in the following top to bottom order: show(B_txt); Bw_fig.canvas.print_figure('bw_plot.png'); show(U_txt); BwU_fig.canvas.print_figure('bwu_plot.png')

The displayed order top to bottom is B_txt, U_Txt; figure; figure. How can I get Sage to display these is in the correct order?

There's no good way to put them in the "correct order". Due to the way the notebook works, all of the plots are shown after all of the text output. I don't believe the notebook takes into account the file creation times when choosing what order to display the images -- it's just alphabetical.

Your best bet is to put the first two commands in one cell, and the second two in a different cells.

A slightly more complicated solution is to save the plots to the data directory in a cell like:

plot(sin(x)).save(DATA+"/p1.png")
plot(cos(x)).save(DATA+"/p2.png")

We'll use a little helper function to fix issues with reloading. (The timestamp after the image filename keeps the browser from caching it).:

def data_image(filename):
    import time
    return html('<img src="data/%s?%s"/>'%(filename, time.time()))

Then, you can reference those in another cell like:

print "sin(x)"
print data_image('p1.png')
print "cos(x)"
print data_image('p2.png')
