#### D.9.4.4 plotRotatedDirect

Procedure from library `surfex.lib` (see surfex_lib).

Usage:
  plotRotatedDirect(list varieties, list #)
  This opens the external program surfex for drawing the surfaces given by varieties, seen as a surface in the real affine space with coordinates x,y,z. The format for the list varieties is not fully documented yet; please, see the examples below and try to adjust the examples to suit your needs.
  The optional int parameter can be used to set plotting quality.

Assume:
  Passes the equations directly to surfex, i.e., the variable names should be x,y,z.
  The advantage is that one can use parameters p1, p2, ...; these will be passed to surfex.

Example:

    LIB "surfex.lib";
    "Example:";
    // A cubic surface depending on a parameter:
    ring r = (0,p1), (x,y,z), dp;
    poly cayley_cubic = x^3+y^3+z^3+1^3-p1*(x+y+z+1)^3;
    // The entries of the list of varieties can either be polynomials
    plotRotatedDirect(list(list(list(cayley_cubic)),
    list(),
    list(list(1,"0.0","1.0","500","0.25+0.25*sin(PI*p1)"))
    ));
    // or strings which represent surfex-readable polynomials
    plotRotatedDirect(list(list(list("x^3+y^3+z^3+1^3-p1*(x+y+z+1)^3")),
    list(),
    list(list("1","0.0","1.0","500","0.25+0.25*sin(PI*p1)"))
    ));
    // More complicated varieties
    plotRotatedDirect(list(list(list("x^2+y^2-z^2-3^2"),
    list("x*sin(p1)+y*cos(p1)-3")),
    list(list(list(1,2))),
    list(list("1","0.0","1.0","500","2*PI*p1"))
    ));
