I'm writing a histogram interact in the Sage cell server at aleph.sagemath.org, and I can't get the graphic to display. The graphics display nicely within the interact in Sage 5.0 on my local installation, but won't appear in Sage 5.2 on the cell server. What can I do to display the graphic?

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
@interact
def doit(title='Title',xlabel=('horizontal axis label','xlabel'),ylabel=('vertical axis label','ylabel'),numbins=slider(1,100,1,8,'number of bins'),data=input_box([358,311,172,190,369,298,308,330,223,187,371,419,296,298,258])):
    plt.figure()
    hp=plt.hist(data,bins=numbins)
    plt.title(title)
    plt.xlabel(xlabel)
    plt.ylabel(ylabel)
    plt.savefig(SAGE_TMP+'test2.png')

It seems like the problem is 5.2, not 5.0... I'll look at this a little now.

At the end, put either the following, which will be supported in the future:

plt.savefig('test2.png')
html("<img src='cell://test2.png' />")

or put the following, which uses internal things that might change in the future:

plt.savefig('test2.png')
sys._sage_.display_message({'text/plain': 'an image', 'text/image-filename': 'test2.png'})

Try

    plt.savefig('test2.png')

instead. That seems to solve the problem for me; at least, a link appears for the figure. SAGE_TMP is really only for use in testing, and has nothing to do with any notebook cells. That it worked before is really a bug, I would think...

Yes. I tried that prior to trying SAGE_TMP. I get the link, but I want to see the graphic appear. Is there a way to make the graphic appear? I tried a few things using the Image package put to no avail.

Since the Sage cell server has a different structure than the notebook, I don't know. Sorry :(
