Comment (by robertwb):

 Also, the polygon function should defer to this when the input is 3d
 points

 Hello,

 I got some trouble trying to draw polygons in JMol because the
 function looks not available easily.
 Sage is featuring the following:
 point() -> try point2d else point3d
 line() -> try line2d else line3d
 polygon() -> only 2d
 but many fancy volumes are available in 3D...

 I think it'd be more natural to have polygon working in a similar
 flexible way.
 Something like:

 try:
         return polygon2d(points, **kwds)
     except ValueError:
         from sage.plot.plot3d.platonic import IndexFaceSet as
 polygon3d
         return polygon3d(points, **kwds)

 with polygon2d being the current code of polygon()
