---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
 Currently the sage objects created by
 {{{
 sage: t = Tachyon()
 }}}
 only accept certain drawn primitives that are predefined inside
 '''sage/plot/plot3d/tachyon.py''' after they are created, e.g. using
 sphere, plane, cylinder methods to insert those figures. General sage 3d
 plots can't be added to such scenes. A round about method using
 {{{
 sage: var('x y')
 (x, y)
 sage: a = plot3d(sin(x+y), (x, -4, 4), (y, -4, 4))
 sage: tachyon_rt(a.tachyon())
 }}}

 is possible, however most of the options are hard-coded into
 '''sage/plot/plot3d/base.pyx'''. Even worse the whole scene is treated as
 one large text file making any further manipulation difficult at best.
