if isinstance(v, list):
if len(v) == 0:
# return empty 3d graphic
from base import Graphics3d
return Graphics3d()
elif len(v) == 1:
# return a point
from shapes2 import point3d
return point3d(v[0], **kwds)
elif len(v) == 2:
# return a line
from shapes2 import line3d
return line3d(v, **kwds)
But then it returns a list_plot3d_tuples and apparently this function is
extended by zero outside of its surface. I guess that makes sense. Maybe
we should also special-case len(v)==3 to make a plane? I don't use this,
so I don't know whether that would be good or bad to change for the
"typical" use case.
