Here I fill the space below the function z = x^2+y^2 to get a solid object. I did it by: Plotting the curves at the…
Here you can sdee Tufte style axes in 3D. The axis affect is achieved by shifting axes, ticks and labels. The command \pgfplotspointouternormalvectorofticklabelaxis{x} is a…
For drawing a spiral cone, we need to find an appropriate parametrization. This code was written by Gonzalo Medina on TeX.SE. \documentclass[border=5pt]{standalone} \usepackage{pgfplots} \pgfplotsset{width=7cm,compat=1.8} \usetikzlibrary{decorations.markings}…
We would like to make an image to illustrate the construction of a spiral capacitor. These are made of spiral coiled films. It’s like a…

We would like to draw a bivariate normal distribution and show where the means from the two variables meet in the space. There are a…
A Christmas tree plot. This code was written by Jake on TeX.SE. \documentclass[border=10pt]{standalone} \usepackage{pgfplots} \pgfplotsset{width=7cm,compat=1.8} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \begin{axis}[ hide axis, clip=false, y domain=0:2*pi, samples=30,axis equal,…
We would like to intersect a 3D plot with a plane. The problem is not to get the two functions into a plot, but to…
