Re: [Matplotlib-users] plotting oriented (two sided) surfaces

[László O. <oro...@gm...>]

well I sort of wanted to avoid doing two spheres..  later on I wanted to do
more complicated surfaces.. and it can get a bit messy.. It is not straight
forward to generate the two parallel surfaces in general..  to be honest
the problematic case would be when i want to display selfintersecting but
still orientable surfaces (NOT Klein bottles or Moebius strips)
cheers anyway for the quick response
