Hi Group,
Thanks for all the advice, it has proved very useful (especially Michael
Orlitzky's suggestion regarding .pdf files). In case the solution is of use
to others, see below -
As an example I use a file containing code such as -
import time
for i in range(1, 11):
p=plot(sin(i*x))
p.save('*path/file_name.pdf*')
time.sleep(2)
and 'attach' it to a sage session running on a local sage server. Each
time the plot is saved it overwrites the previous version. The pdf reader
on my system (Ubuntu gnome, which seems to use 'evince' at the pdf reader)
redraws the plot when the file to be plotted changes (I do not know if all
pdf reader behave this way).
Therefore, all I need to do to get a running updated plot (without leaving
behind thousands of previous plots), is to run the code above, and open the
pdf file for viewing.
Thanks again for the assistance,
Ron
