Is there a simple way to reverse the handedness of the axes? I have the following figure:

shadebetween(0, 2-x-y, x = 0 .. 1, y = x^2 .. sqrt(x), scaling = unconstrained, color = yellow, axes = normal, labels = [Z, Y, X], transparency = .9)

and I want the X and Y-axes reversed from a left-handed orientation to a right-handed orientation.

I'm trying to figure out how to plot the following: if I have a region G in R^2, and two functions f <= g on G, I would like to plot the projection on the XY-plane in say one colour and the volume between f and g in another. For example, consider G the region between the parabolae y=x^2 and y=2-x^2, and f(x,y) = x+y+4 and g(x,y) = 25-x^2-y^2, just to name something. I'd also prefer the plot to be easy adaptable to other functions, e.g. with a different region G, different function descriptions for f and g but also, if possible, projection on one of the other two coordinate planes. Is there an easy way to do this?

Suppose I want to revolve the curve given in the (X,Y)-plane by the set of parametric equations

x(t) = cos(t) + t sin(t)

y(t) = sin(t) - t cos(t)

 

for t in [0,Pi/2] around the X-axis. How can I plot the given surface of revolution? Similarly, the same question for

x(t) = exp(t)*cos(t)

y(t) = exp(t)*sin(t)

 

for t in [0,Pi/2]

Is there an elegant way to plot a surface with three given parameters, such as
x=(5+w\cos v)\cos u, y=(5+w\cos v)\sin u, z=w\sin v

with u,v between 0 and 2Pi and w between 0 and 3?

Is there an elegant way to plot the region between the surfaces z=-y^2 and z=x^2, only on the domain of the XY-plane bounded by the triangle with vertices (0,0), (1,0) and (1,1)?
