Good to know. But that sort of proves my point, then, that the
documentation (old and new) doesn't tell me that - in this case, because
so many keywords can be passed to the plot and then show up in `show()`.
Such as what worked in Sage 6.2 and possibly broken by the new display
hook
{{{
sage: var('y')
y
sage: plot3d(x^2+y^3,(x,-1,1),(y,-1,1),viewer='jmol') # jmol applet pops
up
sage: plot3d(x^2+y^3,(x,-1,1),(y,-1,1),viewer='tachyon') # tachyon-
generated png pops up in a viewer
}}}
If you confirm that this does work properly to generate the filenames in
the command line then I'm okay with making sure there are explicit
examples that say it doesn't work from the plot command - preferably in
the plot command docs!
