The default color for circles *was* blue when they were factored out of plot.py three years or more ago. The ellipse class was specifically modeled on the circle class, and at that point the 'edgecolor' default was already black. This was introduced in http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/3541 with the following changeset. My best guess is that this was for making little circles for viewing digraphs. Feel free to change it back to black in both cases, but if so, you'll want wherever this shows up in graph theory to have the default changed in the graphs files. changeset: 11625:1b4e687127c5 user: Emily Kirkman <> date: Fri Feb 13 17:46:11 2009 -0800 summary: Docs, digraphs, etc. <snip> -@options(alpha=1, fill=False, thickness=1, rgbcolor=(0,0,1), linestyle='solid') +@options(alpha=1, fill=False, thickness=1, edgecolor='black', facecolor='red', linestyle='solid', zorder=5) -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
