It is much better to use the new 3d graphics, which is right handed and supports tachyon output. You can see the primitives we support so far by doing: sage: import sage.plot.plot3d.all as p sage: p. p.arrow3d p.line3d p.plot3d p.tetrahedron p.cube p.list_plot3d p.plot3d_adaptive p.dodecahedron p.octahedron p.point3d p.icosahedron p.parametric_plot3d p.sphere If you make any 3d plot you can view it using tachyon by using the viewer='tachyon' option: sage: P = plot3d(lambda x, y: x^2 + y^2, (-2,2), (-2,2)) sage: P.show(viewer='tachyon', figsize=10) This does not yet give you the full functionality of tachyon, e.g., placement of lights, changing of viewpoint, etc. It would be nice to have some additional help in implementing 3d primitives... We made a good start with the above list of commands, but much remains to be done. > On Jan 11, 12:34 pm, photonn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I did not think of this earlier, but if you would change the > > resolution in the first line from 1000 x 800 to 1024 x 768, the result > > would be a perfect desktop background.
