Possible to add Latex math equations to Sage plots?

Is it possible to add Latex equations to Sage plots?

I don't know if it is possible with the normal plotting tools, but PyX
supports LaTeX in plots. I think it is available as an optional package.

In 2d plots, yes, for example

sage: P1 = plot(sin(x), (x,-pi,pi))
sage: P2 = text("$y=\sin(x),\ -\pi\leq x\leq \pi$", (1.5,4))
sage: show(P1+P2)

However, I think latex is not (yet?) implemented in text3d.

Yes, there is no latex support for text in 3d plots, and
in fact nothing planned either. I have no clue how it
would even be possible.

It would render a png and then use texture mapping. Texture mapping
would be useful for a lot of other things too--jmol supports it (via
voxels) but no one has gotten around to implementing it yet.

My idea was to render an SVG and use that information to build a 3D model, but
I don't know how complex that would be.

Cheers,
