Conditional Plot, plot f(x+iy) if g(x+iy) satisfies some kind of condition

First time here? Check out the FAQ!

Let's say I have two functions f(zeta) and g(zeta), and I'd like to have 3D-plot and Contour Plot of f(zeta) if g(zeta) in a certain range.

I have defined f(zeta) and g(zeta), and then I tried this command, but Sage said the syntax is not valid.

B=implicit_plot(lambda x,y : float(f(x+y*I)),if 1<g(x+y*I)<3,(-5,5),(-5,5)))

I am pretty new with Sage math, so please bear with me if the question is too trivial....

No elaborate solution (some knowledge of f and g would come handy). A couple of hints :

The syntax of a conditional expression in Sage is : result-if true if condition else result-if-false. No comma involved.
implicit_plot3d? might make your day (see the region argument)... but is damn heavy !
In the current implementations of plot3d, friends and cousins, points having value float('nan') do not plot. This might come handy but is not documented and might go without warning at the next revision of those functions.
