Singular Manual: plotRotated

| #### D.9.4.1 plotRotated Procedure from library `surfex.lib` (see surfex_lib). Usage: plotRotated(poly p, list coords, list #) This opens the external program surfex for drawing the surface given by p, seen as a surface in the real affine space with coordinates coords. The optional int parameter can be used to set plotting quality. Assume: coords is a list of three variables. The basering is of characteristic zero and without parameters. Example:
    LIB "surfex.lib";
    "Example:";
    // An easy example: a surface with four conical nodes.
    ring r = 0, (x,y,z), dp;
    poly cayley_cubic = x^3+y^3+z^3+1^3-1/4*(x+y+z+1)^3;
    //     plotRotated(cayley_cubic, list(x,y,z));
    // A difficult example: a surface with a one-dimensional real component!
    poly whitney_umbrella = x^2*z-y^2;
    // The Whitney Umbrella without its handle:
    plotRotated(whitney_umbrella, list(x,y,z));
    // The Whitney Umbrella together with its handle:
    plotRotated(whitney_umbrella, list(x,y,z), 2);
