Comment (by slabbe):
Hi Daniel,
Replying to [ticket:18116 dkrenn]:
> I also want to discourage the `view()` command, right now it is just
spaghetti code that does different things depending on the time of the
day.
> So I propose to use `latex(...).compile()` as an idiom to typeset LaTeX
code.
First, to me the following facts are all completely independent:
A. discourage the use of `view()`
B. `view()` is spaghetti code
C. propose `latex(...).compile()`
So one can't use A or B to suggest C.
Second, I have never liked in Sage the fact that there plenty of ways of
drawing things. For an outside person, it is tough to understand the
difference `plot`, `show` and `view` ? To me there should be one fonction
to do them all. For that reason, I do not like the idea of proposing a
fourth one being `latex(...).compile()` or anything else.
That being said, I really like the idea of being able to show tikz
pictures in the ipython notebook.
