What free language/ software is best for plotting implicit surfaces?

Implicit surfaces are defined by an equation of the form f(x,y,z)=0. Ive recently learned that while somewhat doable, Python does not have any great

Implicit surfaces are defined by an equation of the form f(x,y,z)=0. I've recently learned that while somewhat doable, Python does not have any great solutions for plotting such surfaces. I know that Mathematica and Matlab have functions for doing this, but I'm looking for a free (and preferably open source) solution. Also I need to be able to run it on linux. Any suggestions?

or:Octave is the open source equivalent for matlab, with the goal of replicating its functionality. It's definitely less popular than python therefore lacking in developmental advances, but does a decent job on a whole.There's a ton of 3d graphics software on the market, but they're prolly more goal oriented than \"surface plotting\".
