|  |  D.9.3.1 plot Procedure from librarysurf.lib(see  surf_lib).
 
Example:Usage:
plot(I); I ideal or poly
Assume:
I defines a plane curve or a surface given by one equation
Return:
nothing
Note:
requires the external program `surf` to be installed,

// ---------  plane curves ------------
ring rr0 = 0,(x1,x2),dp;
ideal I = x1^3 - x2^2;
plot(I);
ring rr1 = 0,(x,y,z),dp;
ideal I(1) = 2x2-1/2x3 +1-y+1;
plot(I(1));
//  ---- Singular Logo --------------
poly logo = ((x+3)^3 + 2*(x+3)^2 - y^2)*(x^3 - y^2)*((x-3)^3-2*(x-3)^2-y^2);
plot(logo);
// Steiner surface
ideal J(2) = x^2*y^2+x^2*z^2+y^2*z^2-17*x*y*z;
plot(J(2));
// --------------------
plot(x*(x2-y2)+z2);
// E7
plot(x^3-x*y^3+z^2);
// Whitney umbrella
plot(z^2-x^2*y);
