Type interact? for the documentation in SMC (it's very similar to Sage). Then for each control, type "interact.controls.[tab]" and look at their docstrings. In sagecell, doing interact? and hitting enters silently fails. Doing interact?[tab] shows some very minimal/useless documentation.

Nested interacts isn't really something that need documentation or an API. They are something that should "just work", but which don't in sagenb, and probably won't ever. To add to the confusion, there is something like interacts for ipython, which is maybe somewhat different API-wise from what is in sage... http://nbviewer.ipython.org/github/ipython/ipython/blob/master/examples/Interactive%20Widgets/Index.ipynb -- William > > Thanks! > - kcrisman -- William Stein Professor of Mathematics University of Washington http://wstein.org -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
