We don't even have basic 3d plots (you have to drop down into matplotlib) -- that would be a good place to start. Something like this should be possible: sage: f(x,y) = x + y sage: f.plot((x,0,1), (y,0,1)) Right now the best you can do is, sage: p = plot3d(f, (x,0,1), (y,0,1)) sage: p.show(viewer='tachyon') which is ugly and has precisely zero options. Matplotlib *does* produce nice output, but it takes a page of code to do what the two lines above do. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
