Hi,

In sage-2.9.2 Robert and I unfortunately didn't have time to add anything
to the tutorial, constructions or reference manual about
actually using the new plotting functionality.  These are the
new plotting commands (see below):

bash-3.2$ ./sage
----------------------------------------------------------------------
| SAGE Version 2.9.2, Release Date: 2008-01-05                       |
| Type notebook() for the GUI, and license() for information.        |
----------------------------------------------------------------------

sage: import sage.plot.plot3d.all as p
sage: p.
p.arrow3d            p.line3d             p.plot3d             p.tetrahedron
p.cube               p.list_plot3d        p.plot3d_adaptive
p.dodecahedron       p.octahedron         p.point3d
p.icosahedron        p.parametric_plot3d  p.sphere


They all have docstrings with examples and work in both the notebook
and command line as long as you have java on your computer.
