this is a bug...
Note that -sqrt(2) is a symbolic expression, and taking its abs somehow 
fails on recent Sage versions; 
e.g on the latest 6.8.beta.



 


 Thanks!

[sage-support] plot a 3d polyhedron with transparent background?

2015-07-06 Thread Daniel Friedan
Is it possible to plot a 3d polyhedron with transparent background?

When I use .plot(transparent=True) on a 2d polyhedron, and save to a file, 
the background is transparent.

When I do the same for a 3d polyhedron, the background is white.

p2=Polyhedron(vertices=[[0,1],[1,0]])
p3=Polyhedron(vertices=[[0,1,1],[1,0,0]])
p2_plot = p2.plot(transparent=True)
p3_plot = p3.plot(transparent=True)
p2_plot.save(the_file2)   # saved image has transparent background
p3_plot.save(the_file3)   # saved image has white background

thanks,
Daniel

Fixed in Pynac-0.4.1, backport in Pynac-0.3.9.1 (it was there in 0.3.8
actually already but review is lagging)
