[sage-support] parametric_plot and constants? multiple plots?

2008-08-19 Thread Mike Witt
Hi, I'm a long time Mathematica user who just discovered Sage a couple of months ago, and I'm starting to warm up to it. I have a question about parametric_plot. It appears that if you've got a function that evaluates to zero, then parametric_plot won't accept it. For example, if z(a,b)=e^(I*b +
