Comment (by john_perry):
I plan to work on this the next few days.
> The plot code should either just convert all floating-point arguments to
Python float, or perhaps fix matplotlib. In fact, I'm leaning toward the
latter as it seems to be a recurring problem just in the PDF backend.
Thoughts?
Yes, this is why well-designed languages feature strong typing. ;-)
Speaking seriously, it looks to me as if the most successful approach
would be to patch `matplotlib()`, beginning in line 2079 of
`sage/plot/graphics.py`, to make sure the arguments we sent it are
`float`s rather than `MPFR` data types.
Or is this the wrong idea?
