---------------------------+-----------------------------------------
Refactor 3d plotting classes to create a uniform interface for rendering
with various frontends. Will make it easier to maintain current and
implement new rendering frontends. This will also make it possible to
implement a new renderer outside of the Sage library, e.g. for
prototyping.
Similar in strategy to rich representation as in #17234.
Note: we use 'render' in the most liberal sense. E.g. x3d "renders" to a
particular format. Better term is welcome.
Idea: Instead of a repr method for each renderer on each 3d graphics
class, put all rendering commands for a given renderer in a single class.
Renderers are registered in a global dict, etc.
To do: Figure out precisely how this should interact with the rich_repr
framework.
