Thanks. I've seen some of that, but it looks like they use the upper half-plane model for visualization (while my preference is for Poincare disk). Also, I want to do other geometric constructions/visualizations in Sage (see attached pics) for which commands to create segments, then get

I need same packages that Ed asked for. Nowadays I do geometry coding myself basic functions in SAGE worksheets (to do intersection of lines etc). I do this using the Rational Trigonometry philosophy :-)..see njwilderger youtube videos and book. Previously I played a little with Tex tools

We do have convex hull and lines. What would be lacking for your application are discs and their intersection with polyhedra. sage: line = Polyhedron(vertices=[(0,-1)], lines=[(1,1)]) sage: (triangle line).vertices() (A vertex at (8/5, 3/5), A vertex at (3/2, 1/2)) On Thursday, April 24, 2014

Glad to see this has gained some traction. Here is an illustration of the immediate issue for which this would have been helpful. I wanted to produce an illustration explaining lines in the hyperbolic plane using the Poincare disk model. It's the arc of a circle whose end points are on a given

A certain amount of work on adding functionality for hyperbolic geometry to Sage has been done in recent years, see here: http://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/9439 There seem to be several different implementations by different authors; I am not sure about the status of all this work and how much
