2015-12-18 03:09:09 +0200	commented question	Kernel dies with matplotlib usetex and PDF OK, I upgraded to version 6.9 and everything works fine. Thanks!
2015-12-16 22:30:25 +0200	commented question	Kernel dies with matplotlib usetex and PDF Thanks for the reply! It's good to know this problem is not universal. I'm using Sage 6.8, installed on OS X (10.10.5) using binaries (not sure which ones -- I went to the downloads page and did what seemed natural; not sure if that helps). I was using Jupyter notebook, but I just checked that the error also occurs in the Sage notebook. I get no error message in Jupyter (kernel just dies), but in the Sage notebook I get a generic 'Unhandled SIGABRT' message.
2015-12-16 07:13:26 +0200	asked a question	Kernel dies with matplotlib usetex and PDF I'm looking to save my Sage figures with matplotlib's usetex option, so that I can match the fonts to my document's fonts. The following code works to do this if I switch the filename extension in the last line to png, but for some reason when I try to save a pdf instead, the kernel dies. I would be grateful for any suggestions. `from matplotlib import rc` `rc('text',usetex=True)` `rc('font',serif='Palatino')` `p = plot(sin(x),x,0,2*pi,axes_labels=['$x$','$\sin x$'])` `save(p,filename="tmp.pdf")`

2014-02-04 15:58:20 +0200	commented answer	In-line graphics for Sage in ipython notebook? Thanks for the link. I put the suggested lines in my init file, but they only apply to figures generated through matplotlib (not plots generated using the Sage plot command).

2014-02-04 10:20:55 +0200	asked a question	In-line graphics for Sage in ipython notebook? I am running Sage on a local machine (OS X Mavericks) from an ipython notebook. Everything works fine except that I don't have pretty printing or in-line graphics (2D or 3D) -- the graphics launch in Preview.app. Is it possible to obtain either of these features in the ipython notebook interface?
