### How do I plot the magnitude of a complex-valued function?

My script is like this

 v = var('v');

 assume(v,'complex') G = matrix([[0,1,0,0],[-v,1-v,0,0],[0,-v,1-v,0],[0,0,1,0]]) eigs = G.eigenvalues() f1(v) = abs(eigs[0]) plot(f1,(-1,7))

The first eigenvalue is complex in a certain region and real elsewhere. But it does not plot those portions of the plot where the eigenvalue becomes complex. What gives?

If I try  G = matrix(CC, [[0,1,0,0],[-v,1-v,0,0],[0,-v,1-v,0],[0,0,1,0]]) , I get an error.

The first eigenvalue is complex in a certain region and real elsewhere. But it does not plot those portions of the plot where the eigenvalue becomes complex. What gives?

My plot looks like this: is broken where the eigenvalue is complex, with the error:

verbose 0 (2717: plot.py, generate_plot_points) WARNING: When plotting, failed to evaluate function at 140 points. verbose 0 (2717: plot.py, generate_plot_points) Last error message: 'math domain error'

If I try  G = matrix(CC, [[0,1,0,0],[-v,1-v,0,0],[0,-v,1-v,0],[0,0,1,0]]) , I get an error.

What I want to do is observe the behavior of the magnitude of the eigenvalue with respect to v, irrespective of whether the eigenvalue is real or complex.

If I try  G = matrix(CC, [[0,1,0,0],[-v,1-v,0,0],[0,-v,1-v,0],[0,0,1,0]]) , I get an error.
