Yup, Nicolas did the partial porting. It should be moved to
RootLatticeRealization.

A couple notes:

 - The MuPAD implementation has been used quite intensively during its
   development; so the user interface should be sensible.

 - In the root and weight lattice, the default coordinate system
   should be given by the natural basis. I.e. in the root lattice in
   rank 2, alpha_1 should have coordinates (0,1) and alpha_2 (1,0).

 - There is a useful option to be added, namely for the user to
   specify a bounding box specifying how far the alcoves should be drawn

 - MuPAD use several backends for 2D, 3D, and latex plots. That's
   probably a trick to port over for 2D, 3D plots. For latex a better
   option would be to implement a generic conversion from a Sage 2D
   plot to latex using pgf/tikz.

Cheers,
                                Nicolas
