This is the SageTeX package. It allows you to embed code, results of
computations, and plots from the Sage mathematics software suite
(http://sagemath.org) into LaTeX documents.
====================================================================

SageTeX is included with Sage, so to use it, you only need to make the
file sagetex.sty known to TeX; that file will be in
SAGE_ROOT/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/sagetex, along with
documentation and examples. See the Sage tutorial at
http://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/tutorial/sagetex.html 
for a quick usage introduction, and for complete installation
instructions later on the same page at
http://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/tutorial/sagetex.html#sec-sagetex-install

The complete documentation is in sagetex.pdf, in
the SAGE_ROOT/... directory mentioned above.

If you want to extract any of SageTeX's files from the .dtx sources, you
can do

  0. Run `latex sagetex.ins'

To regenerate the documentation, do

  1. Run `latex sagetex.dtx'
  2. Run `sage sagetex.sage'
  3. Run the indexing commands that the .ins file told you about.
  4. Run `latex sagetex.dtx' again.

You can skip step 3 if you don't care about the index. You will need the
pgf and tikz packages installed to typeset the figures.

The file example.tex has, as you likely guessed, a bunch of examples
showing you how this package works. You can compile it using a another
latex-sage-latex cycle as in steps 1-2-4 above. Note that example.tex
includes some PNG graphics which latex cannot use; to see those, use
pdflatex instead of regular latex or enable the imagemagick option. (See
the documentation.)

To use the SageTeX package with your own documents, see the
"Installation" section of the documentation.
