Jmol plots can be zoomed as well, either by right-clicking for a menu,
or by scrolling up or down while in the image.  You can also put it on
auto-rotate in the menu.

There are proposed backends for the 2d plots that would do some of
this, but they so far have only made it to proof-of-concept stage, I
believe.

Probably using SageTeX or the Simple API?

They are just png files.

A plot is shown by adding HTML for <img> for any images in the cell's
directory.  The images are automatically saved (via methods .save
and .matplotlib) when you view a plot, or use .show to view it.

I hope this helps - please ask if this does not suffice.
