It is not fair to claim that the cloud is *the* successor of the notebook !! The cloud is a project independent of Sage which, as far as I understand, is only partly open source (which implies that it will never be a component of Sage). On the other hand, there are much more improved options for interactive plots: * the Ipython notebook (http://ipython.org/notebook.html) already mentionned by Jason. Sage is basically a Ipython console. It is not that hard to setup the ipython notebook. It is clearly a very good plateform and there is not much to do to make it work. * the matplotlib widgets: Sage right now uses matplotlib for main graphics capabilities. matplpotlib comes with a very complete and useful library for making interactive graphics in native windows (with cursors and all kind of things you may imagine). Note that I was not able to make it work within Sage... The two solutions that I propose do not currently work out of the box with Sage. They are standard Python tools. So as soon as Sage will be compatible with native Python/Ipython the problem will be solved ! You can find many other options on the page [1]. Sage should stop reinventing the wheel for graphics !
