How add axes labels and titles to Sage plots?
sebe...@spawar.navy.mil
I can't seem to find an example that labels the axes or adds a title
to a plot!?
I know that Sage is based on Matplotlib yet uses Mathematica plot
syntax.
I've tried guessing it but haven't nailed it yet.
Where find this info?
Thanks!

You can find an example for adding text to a 2d-plot at
http://www.sagemath.org/doc/tut/node18.html
or type
sage: text?
at the command line.

necessary for axes labels and plot titles.....This is because the user
has to provide the position rather than software figuring it out for
you. I just thought I was missing something.
Thanks again.

AFAIK this is just not implemented (yet). It should be relatively easy as
matplotlib supports it. Volunteers?
Cheers,

As it turns out, my comment was wrong. This works:
sage: p = plot(sin,-pi,pi)
sage: p.axes_labels(['foo','bar'])
sage: p.show()

It would also be very useful to have a legend function similar to the
one in pylab. There has been a discussion of this on the support list
already, and I concluded that someone might be working on the plot
functionalities already. Just search the support list for "legend".
I use pylab from within Sage for any more sophisticated plotting. It
works great. It would be nice if the Sage plot function would take all
the options of pylab plots. No idea how hard it would be to implement
it.

To the best of my knowledge at present absolutely nobody is
working in a concerted way on 2d or 3d plotting in Sage right now.
Mike Hansen did a lot of useful cleanup, but has moved onto
sphinx-ify the documentation, which is higher priority.
I had hoped Emily Kirkman would work on plotting this summer,
and after, but she has ended up working on different things.
I had also hoped something longterm regarding plotting would
come out of Sage Days 9, but that didn't happen due to the
organization of that meeting.
I'll keep my eyes open for a student to hire at UW to work
on plotting, but so far I don't know of anybody qualified
and interested yet.

Gee, I wish I was a student at UW! :). I really appreciate the effort
various people have put into the plotting framework. The NotImplemented
parts have bothered me for a while (as well as some of the framework
itself), but I haven't had time to do an overhaul, though I've made some
somewhat meager attempts at starting. If someone were to spearhead such
a thing, I'd like to be involved. I don't see the time in my future for
spearheading such a thing until possibly next April/May at the earliest.
Mike's improvements to plot.py (both his cleanup and his patch for
options decorators) make such an overhaul much easier. Kudos and a
candy bar to him.
Thanks,
Jason
