I was reading through the documentation at
http://www.sagemath.org/doc/reference/sage/plot/plot.html and came across this section that makes no sense. ***** When the labels have quite different orders of magnitude or are very large, scientific notation (the e notation for powers of ten) is used: sage: plot(x^2,(x,480,500)) # no scientific notation sage: plot(x^2,(x,300,500)) # scientific notation on y-axis **** How are those two plot commands different in a way that will give scientific notation on the y-axis? What I was looking to find, which I didn't find, was how to turn off the ticks and numbers on the axes. I am having my Calc I class graph f(x) = x^3 + 6x^2 - 135x, the most reasonable cubic function with integral intercepts and extrema. I want to put the graph up on the screen without giving away the answers. Suggestions? Thanks, Brad -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
