2015-07-15 23:48:01 +0200 commented answer How to save a 3d plot from sage cell

@calc314 Thanks for your comment! Unfortunately I don't have enough points to upvote any answers/comments yet. Can I ask whether you've installed sage on your computer, and if yes, whether you've had the same problem with that version too. I just want to know whether by installing sage on my computer I can get around this issue.

@fidbc tachyon allows me to save the image but the problem is that it is static and I can't make any adjustments to the orientation of the image before saving.

I've used plot3d to draw a simple plot in sage cell, however when I right click on the image nothing happens. In fact, if I hold the right button I can rotate the image just like when I left click.

I'm using Mozilla Firefox on Ubuntu and don't know if (1) I can change the settings of the browser so that I can save the image simply by right clicking, or (2) there is an alternative way of saving one's work from sage cell.

PS Right click works fine with, say plot command. There should be a conflict between plot3d and my browser that I don't know how to fix.

Thanks in advance for any input.

2015-05-12 21:28:03 +0200 asked a question Naming of Plot Commands in Sage

I've started teaching myself sage and I'm a bit confused about the naming of some commands in graphics. The most basic command for graphics is perhaps plot with its variants polar_plot, contour_plot, etc. However, I've also seen some variants of plot that are obtained from plot by adding postfixes to it; for instance, plot_vector_field.

Does anyone know the reason why some graphical commands belong to the first category (prefix_plot) and some to the second (plot_postfix)? I'm asking this because of there is a good reason for this, then it can help me remember the names more easily, and if there is no special reason this might be something to suggest for changes in future releases of sage.

PS I asked this question on stackoverflow and got a suggestion for asking it here.
