It looks very amazing with all the animations. Wow. I wish Sage more natively supported using tachyon to create animations like that.

Of course, none of the animations work with the pdf: http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/was/tmp/ams2009mhampton.pdf > > On Jan 11, 6:26 pm, "Timothy Clemans" <timothy.clem...@gmail.com> > wrote: >> I'm on a Mac, but when I click the link I just see a bunch of a files. >> Could you post a tar file? >> >> On Sun, Jan 11, 2009 at 3:26 PM, mhampton <hampto...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> > My presentation was done in Keynote, and it would be pretty pointless >> > to look at a pdf.
