 Replying to [comment:4 olazo]:

 checked contour_plot it is exactly what I wanted.

 Great!

 > The only thing I don't like is the automatic choosing of contour levels.
 They usually get too high values that concentrate around the poles of the
 function so that there are almost no curves in parts of the picture away
 from the poles. I'll make a patch to improve that.

 What I would do is leave the current functionality alone, but add an
 option for the sorts of situations you encounter - or something like that.
 You can also choose the contours you want - see
 {{{
 sage: contour_plot?
 }}}


 > Also, it seems like there's no contour_plot3d I'll also work on that.

 Have you tried {{{implicit_plot3d}}}? Presumably one would use this to
 start.
