I think that parametric plot could work in this simple example. r,phi,y=var('r phi y') A=parametric_plot3d([r*cos(phi)+2,r*sin(phi)+3,(r*cos(phi)+2)^2+(r*sin (phi)+3)^2],(r,0,2),(phi,0,2*pi),opacity=0.9) B=parametric_plot3d([r*cos(phi)+2,r*sin(phi)+3,0],(r,0,2),(phi, 0,2*pi),rgbcolor='red') C=p

Robert and Jason, 1. Thanks for the ideas and suggestions. I can probably do something useful with Robert's parametric plot suggestion for the moment. 2. Yes, Jason, Mathematica's RegionFunction is exactly what I had in mind and would be an extremely useful addition to plot3d(). But I know n

Hello, William forwarded this thread to me. I've been working on the parametric_plot3d code under his guidance, and I think I could implement this feature, the option to specify points for exclusion from a plot. Last night I investigated an implementation that simply removes all faces whose verti

Bill, Thanks for working on this! I realized today that such a feature will be indispensable when I start talking about multiple integrals in class. I'd be happy to test out anything you get working. Rob On Mar 11, 2:12 pm, William Cauchois wrote: > Hello, > > William forwarded this thread t
