IMO, Oscar is suggesting a nice idea. Using wrappers for the APIs already existing for plotting just slows down the computation of overall results. If the SymPy wrappers for plotting module aren't making any difference in the algorithms for plotting then may be we can remove them though it would be a drastic change. Other approach can be to stop extending it further and just focussing on fixing the current bugs. My views are based on a high level idea of plotting module, someone with more experience should take the decision regarding this.


Thanks Oscar and Gagandeep,

Looking at the MatplotLib site, I see most of the examples have axes, but gratifyingly there are a few that don't. There is even a Mandelbrot example (without axes) so if you can plot that, I imagine you can do just about anything!

I don't think it would be a good idea to make drastic changes to SymPy - because that just creates confusion, and stability counts for a lot - but it might be nice to change the documentation to point directly at Matplotlib, because otherwise users get the impression that the plotting features in SymPy are much less complete than they really are.
