Is there a way to plot something like this: http://matplotlib.org/examples/pylab_... i.e. with these fancy polar axes out of the box in Sage. Or should I invoke matplotlib directly?

Could anyone explain the basic difference between these two functions? Sage's documentation says that find_local_minimum uses fminbound, so... what find_local_minimum does?

Also, is there a performance difference between them?

Hello!

I have a worksheet with non-ascii characters in the source code (utf-8 comments). If I have 'sage' selected in the combo-box on top of the worksheet then "Save worksheet to a file" works well. But if I change this to 'python' than calling "Save worksheet to a file" leads to a UnicodeDecodeError:

'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xd0 in position 6: ordinal not in range(128)

This code:

print 'X' * 140

Shows 2 actual lines with wrap simbol:

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

I have screen wide enough to handle 140 character so I woul like to have the string intact and see it as one string. How to set printing width to a custom value?
