implicit and contour plots fail on functions with constant areas #2871

The contour plot plot2d([contour,floor(x)-floor(y)],[x,0,5],[y,0,5]) produces a plot consisting of multiple vertically-oriented lines.

Similarly for the implicit plot plot2d(floor(x)=floor(y),[x,0,5],[y,0,5]).

This is one way in which an artist would draw a shaded area using only a pen with a very fine tip instead of brushes (a good artist would probably use cross-hatching ). It can be better with more sample points:

plot2d(floor(x)=floor(y),[x,0,5],[y,0,5],[sample,200,200]);

I don't consider this a bug but rather a feature, because the current version of plot2d can only draw lines; it can not shade a complete region.

For comparison, see in the attachments how the contours of floor(x)-floor(y) looked by using the old function contour_plot (before version 5.45) and using 

plot2d([contour,floor(x)-floor(y)],[x,0,5],[y,0,5],[sample,200,200],nolegend)

(version 5.45 and after)
