Comment (by slabbe):
Replying to [comment:22 vbraun]:
> You say that because the objects that you are interested in have a
broken `plot()` method, so you prefer graphical output generated by
compiling latex. What if plot would actually work in the first place (i.e.
have a proper tikz backend for Graphics objects)
1. Through the years, I have been used in Sage for the `plot()` method to
return a `Graphics()` object (and not anything else). If it can be made
more general, why not?
2. I have used cases where I use both : `plot()` method for returning a
Graphics or a Graphics3D sage object *and* `_latex_()` method for
returning the tikz code. This is the case for instance for polyhedron in
Sage where you can first use jmol to choose a nice projection and then
create the tikz code using a chosen projection. Therefore, if `plot()` can
now return output generated by latex, I still want it to draw my other
Graphics sage object output maybe using some other arguments.
3. I think we don't have to hide the object `LatexExpr` to the user. I
mean `view` or `plot` or `show` could just return the compiled default
latex expression. But sometimes (graph for instance), there are many latex
output (depending on which graphviz program I use). So, to me it is not
the object that I draw, it is a latex expression. Therefore, there should
be still a way to obtain the latex expression of an object and then draw
it.
