New description:
As discussed at this [http://groups.google.com/group/sage-
devel/browse_thread/thread/c411254b7bc0bb97 sage-devel thread], the
optional argument {{{figsize}}} of the command {{{show()}}} needs to
clearly state that the units of the image are in inches. As of Sage 3.4.1,
the docstring for {{{show()}}} says:
{{{
- ``figsize``- [width, height] (same for square aspect)
}}}
which can be interpreted to mean that one can do something like
{{{figsize=[w,h]}}}. But something like the following produces a
segmentation fault:

Essentially, the documentation for {{{show()}}} needs to be updated,
especially the optional arguments, to clearly explain the units of
measurement of the width and height of the image size. Also, it would be a
good idea to specify how one can pass in values for those dimensions. For
example, can one do this {{{figsize=[124,124]}}}?
