Hi, 
   I am trying to add new plot functions with smaller scopes to the plotting module.
As of now I am using the following names.

``plot_line`` -- plots 2D line plots.
``plot_parametric -- plots 2D parametric plots.
``plot3D`` - plots 3D plots (function of 2 variables)
``plot3D_surface`` - plots 3D parametric surface plots
``plot3D_parametric`` - plots 3D parametric line plots.

The ``plot3D_surface`` and ``plot3D_parametric`` are slightly confusing.
What would be alternatives to these names. Also, do you find any problems
with the other names?

Thanks,
Bharath M R

I would make these

plot (or plot_line if plot is going to be something more general)
plot_parametric
plot3D
plot_surface
plot_parametric3D
