Comment (by strogdon):

 Tachyon seems to bomb out on the original example in the limit as
 camera_center->(0,0,0). Then, from tachyon.py viewdir=(0,0,0), which may
 not make sense; although on other examples I've tried when camera_center
 and viewdir are the zero vector then Tachyon returns an empty image. For
 the given example using
 {{{
 t = Tachyon(camera_center=(1.e-30,1.e-30,1.e-30))
 }}}
 does give, a not very interesting, image. How small vector_center can be
 and not cause Tachyon to bomb out my be hardware/software specific. With
 {{{
 t = Tachyon(camera_center=(-3,3,0))
 }}}
 I get an image similar to the parametric_plot() output. This sounds like a
 Tachyon bug.
