The command
view(transducers.GrayCode())
produces tikz-output which can be show by latex. In sagenb this was
shown directly inside the notebook, while in the ipython-notebook this
opens a new pdf with the picture.

It would be nice to have this shown in the ipynb...

Comments? Guesses when this will be possible? Trac-Ticket?

Best wishes,

Daniel

I didn't even know that that was possible, yet another way to plot stuff that is not accessible via plot()...

There is no ticket for refactoring view() into something consistent except for the awfully vague #18033. IMHO the finite state machines should go with the program and

* Have plot() produce a Graphics object that contains all of the desired output

* There should be a plot(format='tikz'), or maybe plot(viewer='tikz') etc, that produces tikz+latex from the Graphics object.

This is now

Actually, it is a short for

view(latex(transducers.GrayCode()))

also works with

view(latex(transducers.GrayCode()))

So it is the LaTeX output (which is a TikZ-picture) which I want to show.
IMHO...showing any latex-output should work as in the sagenb (i.e. inplace)

This works for the transducers, but gives a different represetnation
(using graphs). The nicly formatted output comes from latex(...)

Ok.

I know. And who cares? The important point is to present a uniform user interface for generating graphical output. The _latex_ method of  transducers.GrayCode() re-implements plotting, just in a less flexible way.

I'm not sure of what's your point here. Are you saying that the _latex_ method is somehow useless? Because I strongly disagree with that. I use this method a lot for a bunch of objects, and to generate the latex code that then goes into my articles. It is true that it is less flexible than the plot method, so I guess it is just used in different contexts...

No, I'm saying its nice functionality but attached at the wrong place. If you can't use .plot() to generate the graphics the how on earth is a new user supposed to discover that functionality? Its just a terrible UI.

You're right about that! I guess the solution with an optional parameter in the plot function to use the latex instead of default plot would be good. But does view and plot return the same kind of object? I don't think so... That might be a problem!

Hello tikz lovers!!

I create a(nother) ticket to use tikz picture with jupiter (http://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/19515).
(I don't understand the reason of the ticket  #18116 and it doesn't work on my sage 6.9... )

For what it's worth,

view(transducers.GrayCode()) and show(transducers.GrayCode())

just work also in SageMathCloud -- example:


I finally added tikz support a few days ago:

But I am not sure to understand. You develop the functionality for sagemathcloud (which use jupyter, no?) but you don't provide the fix for the current ipython/jupyter notebook?

IMHO  it is about Sagecloud worksheets, which have little in common with  jupiter notebook worksheets.

+1 for making this work in jupiter

FYI, this was the original description of #18116 and motivation for
opening this ticket:

{{{
view(latex(transducers.GrayCode()))
}}}
shows the transducer inplace in sagenb but it is a pitty that this does
not work in the ipython notebook.

Please everyone write Jupyter with "y" when talking
about Project Jupyter and the Jupyter Notebook.

Read "Where does the name come from" at:
