Asymptote is capable of creating high-quality drawings, on par with
what you would find in Springer books. I feel it produces superior
results.

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/
<https://plotly.com/python/LaTeX/>
K3D: https://k3d-jupyter.org/basic_functionality/Text.html
<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.
