 * status:  needs_review => needs_work


Comment:

 The following in the ''command line'' don't seem to create any files (I
 mean visible ones in my directory).  Maybe they aren't supposed to?
 {{{
 sage: var('y')
 y
 sage: plot3d(x^2+y^3,(x,-1,1),(y,-1,1),filename='foo')
 sage: plot3d(x^2+y^3,(x,-1,1),(y,-1,1),filename='foo',viewer='tachyon')
 }}}
 Note that the second thing pops up a jmol viewer.  I can't figure out if
 this ticket introduced it, though it seems to predate that, based on my
 experimentation.

 Also, with the current documentation, there is no example of how to
 ''properly'' use the `filename` keyword here, and that should be added.

 Anyway, "needs work" to clarify/fix these `filename` use issues.
