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

[Shahar S. K. <ka...@po...>]

Hi, I am not aware of such an option (AFAIK) but my suggestion would be to make two spheres with very small radii difference, paint the slightly smaller one (inside) blue and the other one red. Just a quick fix for the problem at hand. I'm sure the experts here will have plenty of very in depth solutions.
