surf: Visualization of algebraic curves, algebraic surfaces and hyperplane sections of surfaces¶
Description¶
surf is a tool to visualize some real algebraic geometry: plane algebraic curves, algebraic surfaces and hyperplane sections of surfaces. surf is script driven and has (optionally) a nifty GUI using the Gtk widget set.
This is used by the Singular Jupyter kernel to produce 3D plots.

Equivalent System Packages¶
opensuse:
$ sudo zypper install surf-alggeo
See https://repology.org/project/surf-alggeo/versions
However, these system packages will not be used for building Sage because spkg-configure.m4 has not been written for this package; see https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/27330
