This was a very good idea!
Now I generate the plots as you mentioned:
The trick was to use IPython.display to take the png files. Like this:
x = var('x')
plot(sin(x), 0, 2*pi).save('/path/to/directory/file.png')
from IPython.display import display, Image
display(Image('/path/to/directory/file.png'))
