\section{Inline SageMath, code blocks}

This is an example $2+2=\sage{2+2}$. If you raise the current year mod
$100$ (which equals $\sage{mod(\the\year, 100)}$) to the power of the
current day ($\the\day$), you get
$\sage{Integer(mod(\the\year, 100))^\the\day}$.
Also, $\the\year$ modulo $42$ is $\sage{\the\year\percent 42}$.

Code block, which uses a variable \texttt{s} to store the solutions:

\begin{sageblock}
  1+1
  var('a,b,c,d')
  eqn = [a+b*c==1, b-a*c==0, a+b==5]
  s = solve(eqn, a,b,c)
\end{sageblock}

Solutions of $\mbox{eqn}=\sage{eqn}$:
\[
  \sage{s[0]}
\]
\[
  \sage{s[1]}
\]

Now we evaluate the following block:

\begin{sageblock}
  E = EllipticCurve("37a")
\end{sageblock}

You can't do assignment inside \verb|\sage| macros, since Sage doesn't
know how to typeset the output of such a thing. So you have to use a
code block. The elliptic curve $E$ given by $\sage{E}$ has discriminant
$\sage{E.discriminant()}$.

You can do anything in a code block that you can do in Sage and/or
Python. Here we save an elliptic curve into a file.
\begin{sageblock}
try:
  E = load('E2')
except IOError:
  E = EllipticCurve([1,2,7,4,5])
  E.anlist(100000)
  E.save('E2')
\end{sageblock}

The 9999th Fourier coefficient of $\sage{E}$ is $\sage{E.anlist(100000)[9999]}$.

The following code block doesn't appear in the typeset file\dots
\begin{sagesilent}
  e = 2
  e = 3*e + 1
\end{sagesilent}
but we can refer to whatever we did in that code block: $e=\sage{e}$.

\begin{sageblock}
  var('x')
  f(x) = log(sin(x)/x)
\end{sageblock}
The Taylor Series of $f$ begins: $\sage{ f.taylor(x, 0, 10) }$.

\section{Plotting}

Here's a plot of the elliptic curve $E$.

\sageplot[scale=.4]{E.plot(-3,3)}

\begin{sagesilent}
  # the var line is unecessary unless you've defined x to be something
  # other than a symbolic variable
  var('x')
  f(x) = -x^3+4*x^2+7*x-4
\end{sagesilent}

You can use variables to hold plot objects and do stuff with them.
\begin{sageblock}
  p = plot(f, x, -5, 8)
\end{sageblock}

Here's a small plot of $f$ from $-5$ to $5$, which I've centered:

\begin{center} \sageplot[scale=.2]{p} \end{center}

On second thought, use the default size of $3/4$ the \verb|\textwidth|
and don't use axes:

\sageplot[scale=.4]{p, axes=False}

Remember, you're using Sage, and can therefore call upon any of the
software packages Sage is built out of.
\begin{sageblock}
  f = maxima('sin(.4 * x)^3*cos(x)')
  g = f.integrate('x')
\end{sageblock}
Plot $g(x)$, but don't typeset it.
\begin{sagesilent}
  # g is a Maxima thingy, it needs to get converted into a Sage object
  plot1 = plot(g.sage(),x,-1,2*pi)
\end{sagesilent}

You can specify a file format and options for \verb|includegraphics|.
The default is for EPS and PDF files, which are the best choice in
almost all situations. (Although see the section on 3D plotting.)

\sageplot[angle=45, width=.5\textwidth][png]{plot1}

If you use regular \verb|latex| to make a DVI file, you'll see a box,
because DVI files can't include PNG files. If you use \verb|pdflatex|
that will work. See the documentation for details.

When using \verb|\sageplot|, you can pass in just about anything that
Sage can call \verb|.save()| on to produce a graphics file:

\begin{center}
  \sageplot{plot1 + plot(f.sage(),x,-1,2*pi,rgbcolor=hue(0.4)), figsize=[1,2]}
\end{center}

\sageplot{graphs.FlowerSnark().plot()}

\begin{sageblock}
  G4 = DiGraph({1:[2,2,3,5], 2:[3,4], 3:[4], 4:[5,7], 5:[6]},\
  multiedges=True)
  G4plot = G4.plot(layout='circular')
\end{sageblock}

\sageplot{G4plot, axes=False}

Indentation and so on works fine.
\begin{sageblock}
  s     = 7
  s2    = 2^s
  P.<x> = GF(2)[]
  M     = matrix(parent(x),s2)
  for i in range(s2):
    p  = (1+x)^i
    pc = p.coeffs()
    a  = pc.count(1)
    for j in range(a):
      idx        = pc.index(1)
      M[i,idx+j] = pc.pop(idx)

  matrixprogram = matrix_plot(M,cmap='Greys')
\end{sageblock}
And here's the picture:

\sageplot{matrixprogram}

Reset \texttt{x} in Sage so that it's not a generator for the polynomial
ring: \sage{var('x')}

\subsection{3D plotting}

3D plotting right now is problematic because there's no convenient way
to produce vector graphics. We can make PNGs, though, and since the
\verb|sageplot| command defaults to EPS and PDF, \emph{you must specify
a valid format for 3D plotting}. Sage right now (version 3.4.2) can't
produce EPS or PDF files from plot3d objects, so if you don't specify a
valid format, things will go badly. You can specify the
``\texttt{imagemagick}'' option, which will use the Imagemagick
\texttt{convert} utility to make EPS files. See the documentation for
details.

Here's the famous Sage cube graph:

\begin{sageblock}
  G = graphs.CubeGraph(5)
\end{sageblock}

% need empty [] so sageplot knows you want png format, and aren't
% passing an option to includegraphics
\sageplot[][png]{G.plot3d(engine='tachyon')}

\section{Pausing Sage\TeX}
\label{sec:pausing-sagetex}

Sometimes you want to ``pause'' for a bit while writing your document if
you have embedded a long calculation or just want to concentrate on the
\LaTeX{} and ignore any Sage stuff. You can use the \verb|\sagetexpause|
and \verb|\sagetexunpause| macros to do that.

\sagetexpause

A calculation: $\sage{factor(2^325 + 1)}$ and a code environment that
simulates a time-consuming calculation. While paused, this will get
skipped over.
\begin{sageblock}
  import time
  time.sleep(15)
\end{sageblock}

Graphics are also skipped: \sageplot{plot(2*sin(x^2) + x^2, (x, 0, 5))}

\sagetexunpause

\section{Make Sage write your \LaTeX{} for you}

With \textsf{Sage\TeX}, you can not only have Sage do your math for you,
it can write parts of your \LaTeX{} document for you! For example, I
hate writing \texttt{tabular} environments; there's too many fiddly
little bits of punctuation and whatnot\ldots and what if you want to add
a column? It's a pain---or rather, it \emph{was} a pain. Here's how to
make Pascal's triangle. It requires the \texttt{amsmath} package because
of what Sage does when producing a \LaTeX{} representation of a string.
(It puts it inside a \verb|\text| macro.)

%\begin{sageblock}
%def pascals_triangle(n):
%  # start of the table
%  s  = r"\begin{tabular}{cc|" + "r" * (n+1) + "}"
%  s += r"  & & $k$: & \\"
%  # second row, with k values:
%  s += r"  & "
%  for k in [0..n]:
%    s += "& %d " % k
%    s += r"\\"
%    # the n = 0 row:
%    s += r"\hline" + "\n" + r"$n$: & 0 & 1 & \\"
%  # now the rest of the rows
%  for r in [1..n]:
%    s += " & %d " % r
%  for k in [0..r]:
%    s += "& %d " % binomial(r, k)
%    s += r"\\"
%    # add the last line and return
%    s += r"\end{tabular}"
%  return s
%
%  # how big should the table be?
%  n = 8
%\end{sageblock}

Okay, now here's the table. To change the size, edit \texttt{n} above.
If you have several tables, you can use this to get them all the same
size, while changing only one thing.

%\begin{center}
%$\sage{pascals_triangle(n)}$
%\end{center}

$\sage{version()}$
