I looked at both packages and what I did not see was the ability to use
LaTeX to annotate the figures which to me is a back breaker for report
quality graphics.

I think that having a way of getting publication quality output would
be great. However, I think for what most people do the good
interactive graphics of the plotly (2D, mostly, see
https://plotly.com/python/) and K3d (3D, see
https://github.com/K3D-tools/K3D-jupyter) are better.
If enough people are interested, maybe one of the foundations could
pay for the work.

This is a subject that is more general than sympy but is relevant
to sympy and I don't know where else to ask this question. For
plotting in sympy and python for that matter we pretty much make
do with mathplotlib. The software package Asymptote
https://asymptote.sourceforge.io/ <https://asymptote.sourceforge.io/>
is much better (it has a 3d vector syntax for plotting) and can
generate report quality graphics (especially in 3d and even
interactive 3d as show in the galleries in the link). The problem
is that it was originally written in 2004 before the staying power
of python was know so that it has it's own programming language.
What it needs is a complete python wrapper for the graphics
related types (it uses a strongly typed interpreted programming
language with the flavor of C or C++) and plotting commands. This
is beyond my programming abilities. Where in the python community
should I propose this as a task that should be worked on? Note
that some people who know more about programming than I do looked
at the source code and said that it uses a virtual machine which
would make writing a python api simpler.
