Comment(by jhpalmieri):
On both an OS X box (OS version 10.6.8) and on iras: before installing the
libpng spkg here, both systems failed to build the modified matplotlib
spkg referred to in the previous comment. After installing the new
libpng, both successfully built it. All doctests passed for the "plot"
directory, and this worked:
{{{
sage: P = plot(sin(x))
sage: P.save('x.png')
}}}
After exiting Sage:
{{{
$ file x.png
x.png: PNG image data, 484 x 316, 8-bit/color RGBA, non-interlaced
}}}
From the code, it looks like `P.save('x.png')` should call matplotlib, and
so if libpng is broken or if matplotlib can't find it, I think this should
fail. So things look good so far. Any other suggestions for testing
this?
The package still needs testing on other systems, and we should run full
doctests as well, not just for the 'plot' directory.
