[sage-support] Re: Problem plotting a function with plot()
The following displays a plot in my notebook (Sage3.4) if I put it all
in the same cell:
sage: var('t'); # symbolic variable
sage: var('g'); # symbolic variable
sage: f(t) = g*(t**2-1)/(2*(t-1)) # try to simplify this function later...
sage: plot(f.subs(g=9.81), 0, 10)
Does this not work for you?

I tried this and it works only with the console. If you use the notebook
you have to use the show() command. Anyway, thank you very much for the
tip!!1

Yes it works! for some strange reason it did not work in my old sheet. I
though to plot one should use a combination of plot() and show()
commands. Actually, I created a small tutorial for private use to learn
more about sage commands to plot, which talks about the use of plot()
and show(). I expected to use it for my future curse of Sage for
scientist in my institute. :P You can see in http://sagenb.org/home/pub/399

Jason Dear Jason, I would be happy to contribute to any form with the development/expansion of Sage :D. Feel free to use this document. However, somebody would have to check it just before publishing. The document is only a very short introduction, I was planning to add some other features (ie. plot_list() ) and the 3D plotting capabilities of Sage. You may want to have a look to the other worksheet I published online about limit calculations, just enter: http://sagenb.org/home/pub/398/ As I commented before, I am planning to do a series of basic documentation of that type related with Sage for scientific purposes.

namespace
* making some nicely matched color sets (color schemes, if you will).
* make a generic mixing function (which takes the weighted average of
self and other, according to a specifiable fraction)
* make darker/lighter functions
* adding together colors averages them
* a linear combination takes a weighted average (hmmm...have to think
about how to do this one...maybe it'd make more sense to do a different
average?)

mathematica-style api compatibility. So I'm +1 on that.

namespace
I don't care...

Well if you do A + B + C, then Python will do A+B then (A+B)+C, so
the previous point determines this one.

I like all your comments but this one--the global namespace is huge enough as it is. Also, colors.* gives nice tab completion, etc. I could be OK with the limited set defined above. * predefining a huge number of colors, but sticking them in the colors namespace * making some nicely matched color sets (color schemes, if you will). * make a generic mixing function (which takes the weighted average of self and other, according to a specifiable fraction) * make darker/lighter functions * adding together colors averages them * a linear combination takes a weighted average (hmmm...have to think about how to do this one...maybe it'd make more sense to do a different average?)

Dear Sage users and developers,
I am using Sage version 3.4 running on Linux/Debian. I am still not very
familiar with Sage though. I tried to plot the following equation:
sage: var('t'); # symbolic variable
sage: var('g'); # symbolic variable
sage: f(t) = g*(t**2-1)/(2*(t-1)) # try to simplify this function later...
Obviously the function is not defined at t=1. Returns (0/0)
sage: f(1).subs(g=9.81) # returns Division by 0
The problem comes when I try to plot the whole function f(t). By default
the plot is between -1 and +1.
sage: fig = plot(f.subs(g=9.81)) # substitute g by 9.81 , otherwise not
plotted
sage: show(fig)
How about:
sage: fig = plot(f.subs(g=9.81), xmin=-1,xmax=1) + plot(f.subs
(g=9.81), xmin=1, xmax=10)
Actually,
sage: fig = plot(f.subs(g=9.81), xmin=-1,xmax=10)
seems to work, too.

This is why you are getting a plot between -1 and 1: the plot command
expects xmin and xmax arguments, and if you don't specify any, it uses
xmin=-1 and xmax=1. From this point on, fig goes from -1 to 1, and
specifying different end points in show (for example) doesn't affect
the actual plot in fig.
By the way, if you type
sage: plot(f.subs(g=9.81), 0, 10)
then the plot will be displayed -- you don't need to save the plot and
then 'show' it.

Hello John H Palmieri
That was it!, i had only to define a figure as combination of 2
different plot objects one from above x=1 and one bellow x=1 . Sage even
plots the small hole (0/0=indetermination) between the 2 graphics!!!
simply great.
thank you very much!
Greetings!

This is why you are getting a plot between -1 and 1: the plot command
expects xmin and xmax arguments, and if you don't specify any, it uses
xmin=-1 and xmax=1. From this point on, fig goes from -1 to 1, and
specifying different end points in show (for example) doesn't affect

Once again thank you very much. As i wrote, I am not very familiar with
Sage and that's why I got so many mistakes (by the way it is very
difficult to find information even with the help command). The plot tip
is fantastic! I will use it from now on.
All the best
Jose.
