Comment (by ncohen):

 Hello !

 > How much time does this add to the doc build?

 Well, nothing I guess if nobody uses it. Then it will depend on how many
 pictures we add.

 > Which reminds me, update developer manual, please :-)

 Do you mean that I should update this ticket with #17508 one way or
 another ? Review one, I will update the other :-P

 > Again, I am wondering whether this works with other plots, like
 `plot(sin(x),(x,0,pi))` or something.  Yes, I am too tired to try it now.

 Load the 'sphinx_plot' function in Sage. If it does not raise an exception
 on the object you give it then it works. All that is necessary is to turn
 this thing into a .png, that's all.

 > But whatever is implemented should be robust in that sense, even if it's
 our fault for having several different ways to plot things (plotting with
 `plot()` versus `.plot()` methods).

 I don't totally grasp the dichotomy you have in mind `:-P`

 > I wonder also about importing mpl every time.  Maybe once it's already
 imported it's not a big deal, but if there was one such import per file in
 the reference manual that could add quite a bit of time (I realize that
 assumes people have put such things in).  You're sure you can't change the
 margins or layout before doing the `savefig` in the `StringIO` version?
 Too bad.

 Well, I was not able to.. It must be possible I expect, but well `O_o`
