Comment (by minshall):
hi. fwiw, i downloaded an applied these two patches on my macosx 10.8
system (using fink). i added the following to my init.sage:
{{{
#!python
from sage.misc.viewer import viewer
viewer.browser('/sw/bin/w3m')
viewer.dvi_viewer('/sw/bin/xdvi')
viewer.pdf_viewer('/sw/bin/xpdf')
viewer.png_viewer('/sw/bin/display')
}}}
and ran simple tests. everything worked just fine. (i had a separate
issue with error reporting for non-existent viewers, but i don't think
that's in the scope of this patch.)
*i* would also like the ability to get plot3d to use other than jmol. i
suspect that's also out of scope for this patch. so, i'm basically happy.
cheers.
