[sage-support] How to use the signed jmol applet in sage

2010-08-18 Thread A.Daitche
Hi,

I use sage to generate jmol files for use in a wiki (among other
things). I was searching for a possibility to save a custom view in
the jmol file, .i.e. arrange the view in a running jmol applet and
save it. The best possibility i have found so far is to use a signed
applet, which allows to save the current state to a jmol file. However
i can not get the signed applet to work in sage. I tried the obvious
(and maybe dumb) thing to replace all the relevant files in
local/lib/python/site-packages/sagenb-0.8.1-py2.6.egg/sagenb/data/jmol
with their signed version, e.g.
mv JmolAppletSigned.jar JmolApplet.jar
This does not seem to work. When the jmol Applet is loaded the error
message File reader not found: Xyz is issued.
So my question is: what is the right way to tell sage to use the
signed applet of jmol.

With best regards
Anton

  You say A + B = A+B. Was that a typo?

 No. Just follow i,ii and iii with P1(A,B)=A, P2(A,B)=B and P3(A,B)=A
 +B.

 I forgot to add that I assumed that gcd(A,B)=1.

Please note that the above identity is not so commonly known, as Tito
Piezas has add it to its collection of Algebraic Identities.
I found it using Sage!

Hello Roland,
The identity has been included in the Aug updates. Thanks.

So research ideas are welcome!

Hi,

I've created http://ask.sagemath.org   (I added this to DNS an hour
ago, so depending on where you are, you may have to wait a while), and
will be constantly trying to convince people to use this.

 http://ask.sagemath.org

You can easily login instantly using your OpenID, which e.g., you
automatically have if you have a Google account.

I think questions often get lost or missed on sage-support.  The
advantage of http://ask.sagemath.org is that:

 * questions are much less likely to get lost

 * people get some sort of explicit credit (points) for
answering questions

 * all questions get non-optionally tagged

 * it's easy to query to see which questions are tagged into a
certain category

 * it is easy to moderate other people's answers to questions


Technical notes:

   * http://ask.sagemath.org is a Django application using the code
from this project: http://askbot.org

   * Thus ask.sagemath.org is 100% open source, and running on our
hardware.  This is much different than say http://stackoverflow.com or
http://mathoverflow.net, which is closed source and runs on rented
server space.

   * The scipy people setup http://ask.scipy.org/en/ a while ago using
Solace instead of askbot.   I looked at the many, many options for
community question sites, and think that today askbot is the best
Python-based option.

Great!

Assuming this gains traction, we should add it to the documentation
(like the tutorial and the sagemath.org web page) soon.

Yes, definitely, and also to the frontpage and several other places on
sagemath.org.  Plus a link the sage notebook would be good.

There are also lots of little tweaks to the http://ask.sagemath.org
site that need to be made, e.g., the FAQ, the HTML title, etc.

AskBot is one of the neatest open source programs I've seen so far.

Hi,

This is a quick status report on http://ask.sagemath.org.  There are
already 22 users.   There have been 13 questions asked, with a bunch
of comments on almost all of them, and *every* question got at least
one answer.   So we need more questions!
