Just FYI, in 4.0.1 neither of the original plots work (something about
calling float()...).

Anyway:

sage: arctan2(1,-1)
-1/4*pi
sage: atan2(1,-1)
-1/4*pi
sage: maxima.atan2(1,-1)
3*%pi/4
sage: math.atan2(1,-1)
2.3561944901923448
sage: SR(1).arctan2(-1)
3/4*pi

Question: Sage's current arctan2/atan2 seems to be the only such thing
that does NOT go from -pi to pi (because it is arctan(y/x), quadrant
is ignored).  Is this a problem, either for fixing #6421 or for other
reasons?  My inclination would be to have Sage's arctan2 simply call
math.atan2 or something else, but at any rate to be consistent.
