Hello! Is it possible to get a "static" plot of 3D-data? For example, if I state the fixed angles of view and want to get simply a PNG file. Maybe something like the command
gnuplot -e 'set terminal png; set view 80,30; splot "output.txt"'
gives.
If it isn't implemented in Sage right now, is it planned? Thanks.
There is a ray-tracer built into Sage called Tachyon. In the example from your previous question, try:
sage: L = [ (1, 1, 1), (1, 5, 7), (8.8, 0, 3), (7.5, 1.91, 11.8), (0, 0, 0) ]
sage: point3d(L, viewer='tachyon')
or..
sage: x,y=var('x,y')
sage: plot3d(x^2-y^2, (x,-2,2), (y,-2,2), viewer='tachyon')
Here is the section of the Sage manual: Tachyon
Though one should point out that this doesn't work so well with the particular example given in L. See http://www.sagemath.org/doc/reference/sage/plot/plot3d/base.html for an example where it is really nice.
