Re: [Visualpython-users] how to visualize 3D surface?

If I understand correctly, you are drawing the path of the top of the spher=
e
(using curve( ) ?)  But you would also like to show the underlying manifold=
,
the part of the sphere between theta_min and theta_max.

Are you on Windows or Linux?  I'll look more closely at your original post
now.

How is the weather in Dresden?
