HI Mark, Dan Drake's SageTeX will let you embed Sage commands into your LaTeX source and as an extra step in compiling the LaTeX document the Sage commands are executed and the output incorporated. Dan is an active Sage developer so I'm sure he'd be interested in helping with the finer points.
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/sagetex.html http://bitbucket.org/ddrake/sagetex/ Sage has lots of commands to generate random objects - for example I'm most familiar with random_matrix(). And every object in Sage is suppose to have a LaTeX representation, so it ought to look good as well. I suspect it shouldn't be too hard to roll all this together to get what you are after. Sounds like a nice project. Maybe you can post a working example here once you have one?
