No. The problem is that plot is only partly implemented. One should look at the mathematica design for doing this (where this involves anything with axes), design a sage-friendly way of doing at least that functionality (and more), then implement it on top of the current plot command. I wish I personally had time to do this right now, but I don't. -- William --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
