This isn't because of this patch, is it? I can't get these graphs to
appear using a %latex cell with or without the patch -- I can only use
%pdflatex with the patch.
> Outside of Sage, I can take source with tkz-graph code, run
(plain)latex, then convert the dvi to Postscript with dvips, then convert
to PNG with imagemagick's convert. I get full pages with numbers, and the
resolution looks a bit crummy, but I presume that can be fixed with
options.
Can you temporarily move dvipng out of your path and see what Sage does
then? (If it can't find dvipng, then it should use dvips and convert.)
That works for me. I don't know what the problem with dvipng is. Is it
worth trying to see (in Latex()) if dvipng gives error messages and if so,
switching to the latex -> dvi -> ps -> png conversion?
