+1 for threejs I tried to compare the two: in a single Jupyter notebook, I plotted the same function with both viewers. threejs produced the plot faster, and it was snappier when rotating, zooming, etc. (This is with both Firefox and Safari on OS X.) Same from the command-line: the threejs

[sage-devel] Using travis-ci on Sage with both py2 and py3

2019-09-23 Thread Julian Rüth
Hi Simon, the py3 image has the tag :develop-py3 instead of :develop. That image is a bit old unfortunately since https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/28041 (positive review) has not been merged yet. I'm not a travis expert but I think you want to add a matrix that adds an environment variable say

Eric quite eloquently made the case for threejs. I tend to agree with him on most of the points. However, a couple points should be complemented: - The "minor transparency issues" he mentions may deprive the resulting plot of part of its mathematical meaning (for example, the plot of a

[sage-devel] Poll: three.js as the default 3d viewer in Sage

Dear Sage-dev, This is a poll to make three.js (https://threejs.org/) the default 3d viewer in Sage, in replacement of Jmol (https://sourceforge.net/projects/jmol/). Indeed, thanks to the work of Paul Masson, the three.js 3d viewer is doing a very good job in displaying Sage 3d plots, as you can
