| Aug 9, 2018 at 22:13 | comment | added | stressed out | Thanks. I'm afraid I do not understand what Tachyon does in this scenario exactly. Is it even necessary? I checked the website but couldn't make heads or tails out of it. | |
| Aug 9, 2018 at 22:10 | comment | added | Carlo Beenakker | indeed; Mathematica is more capable, but it is not open source. | |
| Aug 9, 2018 at 22:09 | comment | added | stressed out | This is very useful. Thanks. SAGE also seems to have a relatively active community of users. I'll give it a try. But if I understood correctly, SAGE itself doesn't produce animations. I need to stitch the frames together with another software (FFmpeg for example). Am I right? | |
