I think it can plot arbitrary 3d shapes and polygons but it does not appear to be OpenGL accelerated. >> I really like the technique of using Jython in the client because its >> like having a subset of SAGE on the client.

Correct, C-based extension types do not work with Jython. > There is virtually no sage/client communication in this code.
