I would like to plot the "effects" of an 2 by 2 matrix over the reals on the 
unit sphere in the p-norm. By effects I mean I would like to plot the unit 
sphere and it's image under a given matrix. In clearest case when p=2 I found 
the following code from trac #9728 which does exactly what I want. 

@interact 
def linear_transformation(
    theta = slider(0, 2*pi, .1), 
    r     = slider(0.1,  2, .1, default=1),
    A     = input_grid(2, 2, default = [[1,2],[0,2]],
                             to_value=matrix)):
    """An interact which illustrates ...
    """
    v=vector([r*cos(theta), r*sin(theta)]) 
    w = A*v

    unit_sphere = circle((0,0), radius = 1, rgbcolor = (1,0,0))
    var('t')
    image_of_sphere = parametric_plot(A*vector([sin(t),cos(t)]), 
                         (t, 0, 2*pi), rgbcolor=(0,0,1))
    
    html("$v = %s,; %s w=%s$"%(v.n(4),latex(A),w.n(4)))     
    show(v.plot(rgbcolor=(1,0,0)) +
         w.plot(rgbcolor=(0,0,1)) +
         unit_sphere + image_of_sphere,
         aspect_ratio=1)

I'm a total newb when it comes to plotting in sage, so I would very much 
appreciate the help.
