Comment (by ncohen):
> I might be completely misunderstanding things, but would like to make
sure: easy access to the tikz code is very very very important to me. Is
there a difference between `latex(g)` and `g.__latex__`? What would be
the point of having $G_{123}$ as output? At least for me it would be
completely useless.
The key to the non-discussion above is this:
{{{
sage: show is pretty_print
True
}}}
That `show` is an alias for `pretty_print` is a problem here, for
`show(g)` seems to indicate a plot while `pretty_print(g)` seems to
indicate the kind of latex representation that Volker wants.
Even though `show(g)` is indeed used frequently (Volker removes those
doctests in this branch), it is definitely hard to do anything coherent
when two functions with such different meanings are aliases of each other.
Soooooooo well. If we can solve the problem by deprecating the `show`
alias, and if in the meantime it still displays a plot for graphs while
hinting at `Graph.show` or `Graph.plot`, then nobody will be lost. What do
you think?
