I'm not sure the original poster just wanted to plot a curve in the
complex plane (as implemented by the two methods you suggested); that's
why I had raised the question of just what sort of graphical
representation he expected. After all, these plots represent merely the
("static") range of function f and not the "mapping" from the reals to
the complexes that f provides.
In principle, we should be able to represent that mapping since the
total real dimension involved is 1 + 2 = 3; but I don't recall ever
having seen such a graphical representation of such a mapping. Perhaps
the most appropriate thing would be to regard the input parameter x as
time t, instead, and then to produce an animation showing evolution of
the curve in time.
