Added tutorial about combining plots together.

v1.6.2

Added plot3d_list function to plot list of coordinates on 3D space.
Changed value to default setting: cfg["matplotlib"]["show_minor_grid"]=False. Set it to True in order to visualize minor grid lines.
Improved documentation.
Enabled color_func keyword argument on plot_vector.
PlotlyBackend:
- if the number of points of a line is greater than some threshold, the backend will switch to go.Scattergl. This improves performance.
- Fixed bug with interactive widget contour plot and update of colorbar.
MatplotlibBackend can now combine 3d plots with contour plots.
Fixed bug with addition of interactive plots.

v1.6.1

Improvements to documentation. In particular, ReadTheDocs now shows pictures generated with PlotlyBackend, K3DBackend as well as interactive plots with widgets.
Default settings:
- Changed cgf["interactive"]["theme"] to "light": interactive plots served on a new browser window will use a light theme.
- Changed cgf["bokeh"]["update_event"] to False: Bokeh won’t update the plot with new data as dragging or zooming operations are performed.
- Added new option cgf["k3d"]["camera_mode"].
Improvements to MatplotlibBackend:
- Added label capability to plot_implicit.
- show() method now accepts keyword arguments. This is useful to detach the plot from a non-interactive console.
Added dots keyword argument to plot_piecewise to choose wheter to show circular markers on endpoints.
Fixed bug with plotting 3D vectors.

v1.6.0

Added new plotting functions:
- plot3d_revolution to create surface of revolution.
- plot_parametric_region, still in development.
MatplotlibBackend:
- Fixed bug with colormaps and normalization.
- Improved update speed when dealing with parametric domain coloring plots.

Fixed bug with parametric interactive widget plots and PlotlyBackend: the update speed is now decent.
Series:
- Moved LineOver1DRangeSeries._detect_poles to _detect_poles_helper.
- plot_complex and plot_real_imag: the input expression is no longer wrapped by symbolic re() or im(). Instead, the necessary processing is done on the series after the complex function has been evaluated. This improves performance.
Parametric2DLineSeries now support detect_poles.
Implemented support for color_func keyword argument on plot_list and plot_complex_list.
Added extras_require to setup.py:
- by default, pip install sympy_plot_backends will install only the necessary requirements to get non-interactive plotting to work with Matplotlib.
- use pip install sympy_plot_backends[all] to install all other packages: panel, bokeh, plotly, k3d, vtk, …
Documentation:
- Improved examples.
- Added examples with PlotlyBackend.

v1.5.0

Implemented the plot3d_spherical function to plot functions in spherical coordinates.
Added the wireframe option to plot3d, plot3d_parametric_surface and plot3d_spherical to add grid lines over the surface.

Added normalize keyword argument to plot_vector and plot_complex_vector to visualize quivers with unit length.
Improve documentation of plot_vector and plot_complex_vector.
Improved test coverage on complex and vector plotting functions.
Improvements on PlotlyBackend:

- improved logic to show colorbars on 3D surface plots.
- added support for custom aspect ratio on 3D plots.
Improved support for xlim, ylim, zlim on K3DBackend.
Series:

- Fixed bug with color_func.
- Added transformation keyword arguments tx, ty, tz to parametric series.
Breaks:
- Inside plot_parametric and plot3d_parametric_line, the tz keyword argument has been renamed to tp.
- Removed Mayavi from setup dependencies. Mayavi is difficult to install: can’t afford the time it requires for proper setup and testing. MayaviBackend is still available to be used “as is”.

v1.4.0

Reintroduced MayaviBackend to plot 3D symbolic expressions with Mayavi. Note that interactive widgets are still not supported by this backend.
plot_contour is now able to create filled contours or line contours on backends that supports such distinction. Set the is_filled keyword argument to choose the behaviour.
Implemented interactive widget support for plot_list.
Implemented back-compatibility-related features with SymPy.
Fixed bugs with PlaneSeries:
- Data generation for vertical planes is now fixed.
- K3DBackend is now able to plot this series.
- Similar to other 3D surfaces, planes will be plotted with a solid color.
Fixed bug with Vector3DSeries: the discretized volume is now created with Numpy’s meshgrid with indexing='ij'. This improves the generation of 3D streamlines.
Fixed bug with plot3d and plot_contour: when params is provided the specified backend will be instantiated.
Fixed bug with K3DBackend and plot3d_implicit.

v1.3.0

Added support for plotting numerical vectorized functions. Many of the plotting functions exposed by this module are now able to deal with both symbolic expressions as well as numerical functions. This extends the scope of this module, as it is possible to use it directly with numpy and lambda functions. For example, the following is now supported:
```
import numpy as np
plot(lambda t: np.cos(x) * np.exp(-x / 5), ("t", 0, 10))
```
Added support for vector from the sympy.physics.mechanics module in the plot_vector function.
Implemented keyword argument validator: if a user writes a misspelled keyword arguments, a warning message will be raised showing one possible alternative.

v1.2.1

Added used_by_default inside default options for adaptive algorithm. This let the user decide wheter to use adaptive algorithm or uniform meshing by default for line plots.
Fix the axis labels for the plot_complex_vector function.
Improved a few examples in the docstring of plot_vector and plot_complex_vector.
Fixed bug with interactive update of plot_vector inside MatplotlibBackend.
Improvements to the code in preparation for merging this module into Sympy:
- Small refactoring about the label generation: previously, the string and latex representations were generated at different times and in different functions. Now, they are generated simultaneously inside the __init__ method of a data series.
- Changes in names of functions that are meant to remain private:
  - adaptive_eval -> _adaptive_eval.
  - _uniform_eval -> _uniform_eval_helper
  - uniform_eval -> _uniform_eval
  - _correct_size -> _correct_shape
  - get_points -> _get_points

v1.2.0

Replaced the line_kw, surface_kw, image_kw, fill_kw keyword arguments with rendering_kw. This simplifies the usage between different plotting functions.
Plot functions now accepts a new argument: rendering_kw, a dictionary of options that will be passed directly to the backend to customize the appearance. In particular:
- Possibility to plot and customize multiple expressions with a single function call. For example, for line plots:
```
plot(
  (expr1, range1 [opt], label1 [opt], rendering_kw1 [opt]),
  (expr2, range2 [opt], label2 [opt], rendering_kw2 [opt]),
  **kwargs
)
```
- Possibility to achieve the same result using the label and rendering_kw keyword arguments by providing lists of elements (one element for each expression). For example, for line plots:
```
plot(expr1, expr2, range [opt],
    label=["label1", "label2"],
    rendering_kw=[dict(...), dict(...)],
    **kwargs
)
```
Interactive submodule:
- Fixed bug with spb.interactive.create_widgets.
- Integration of the interactive-widget plot iplot into the most important plotting functions. To activate the interactive-widget plot users need to provide the params dictionary to the plotting function. For example, to create a line interactive-widget plot:
```
plot(cos(u * x), (x, -5, 5), params={u: (1, 0, 2)})
```
Series:
- Fixed a bug with line series when plotting complex-related function with adaptive=False.
- Fixed bug with lambdify and modules="sympy".
- Fixed bug with the number of discretization points of vector series.
- Enabled support for Python’s built-in sum() function, which can now be used to combine multiple plots.
Backends:
- Fixed a bug with MatplotlibBackend and string-valued color maps.
- Fixed a bug with BokehBackend about the update of quivers color when using iplot.

polar_plot:
- a polar chart will be generated if a backend support such feature, otherwise the backend will apply a polar transformation and plot a cartesian chart.
- iplot changes the keyword argument to request a 2D polar chart. Use is_polar=True instead of polar=True.
plot3d:
- Setting is_polar=True enables polar discretization.
