FYI attached is a figure I generated with Asymptote for a Foucault
pendulum.

Both plotly and k3d support rendered LaTex for labels, text, etc.
Some pages with very simple examples for
Plotly: https://plotly.com/python/LaTeX/
K3D: https://k3d-jupyter.org/basic_functionality/Text.html
Again, I would not argue that these packages easily generate
publication quality graphics, but they have very good interactive
interfaces making them good for routine work.

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/ <https://plotly.com/python/>) and K3d
(3D, see https://github.com/K3D-tools/K3D-jupyter
<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.
