Hi,

I would like to plot a cone where I can change the vertex angle directly. I would also to be able to change the size of the cone. I have tried:

cone([r*cos(phi)*sin(theta), r*sin(phi)*sin(theta), r*cos(theta)], phi = 0 .. 2*Pi, r = 0 .. 1, theta = (1/6)*Pi, coords = spherical)

but this gives me the following error:

Error, (in plot3d) unexpected options: [[r*cos(phi)*sin(theta), r*sin(phi)*sin(theta), r*cos(theta)], phi = 0 .. 2*Pi, r = 0 .. 1, theta = (1/6)*Pi]

Thanks!

I have an equation for r(t) that involves 3 (slidable) constants; an equation for phi(t) that involves the same three constants and is written in terms of arctan; theta is a slidable constant. How do I plot this on an x,y,z plot? I want an animation in terms of t.
