New description:
This small patch implements:
{{{
sage: view(object, viewer = "pdf")
}}}
which works even under the notebook.
Typical use cases:
* you prefer your pdf browser to your dvi browser
* you want to view latex snippets which are not displayed well in dvi
viewers or jsmath (e.g. tikzpicture)
Potential extensions: view(object, viewer='png'), view(object,
viewer='html')
Note: this partially reinstates #5920 which got a positive review and was
said to be merged and closed, but apparently later discarded upon the
merge of the overlapping #6012 (pdflatex option)
This patch also adds a tightpage option, which uses the preview package to
create a document with each displaymath on a single page whose size is
exactly that of the displaymath. This is for example useful for very large
pictures (graphs!) generated with tikz.
Suggestions for how to doctest this are welcome.
