[sage-support] Re: Plotting from linux console mode?

2009-04-04 Thread Alasdair

It turned out not to be a Sage issue at all, but a file association
issue.  My desktop (xfce) associated images with gqview; I changed the
association to ImageMagick's "display", and got what I wanted.

You might have been asking how to set it yourself.  In linux (well,
bash) do e.g.,


 export SAGE_BROWSER="firefox"

In misc/viewer.py


sage: search_src('SAGE_BROWSER')
misc/viewer.py:if os.environ.has_key('SAGE_BROWSER'):
misc/viewer.py:BROWSER = os.environ['SAGE_BROWSER']
server/notebook/notebook_object.py:
SAGE_BROWSER environment variable, e.g., by putting
server/notebook/notebook_object.py: export
SAGE_BROWSER="firefox"
