In this chapter various ways of plotting spherical functions are explained. We start by defining some example functions.
Smooth Plot
The default plot
command generates a colored plot without contours
plot(sF1)
is the same aspcolor(sF1)
Contour Plot
nonfilled contour plot plots only the contour lines
Filled Contour Plot
filled contour plot plots the contour lines
3D Plot
3D plot of a sphere colored accordingly to the function values.
Surface Plot
3D plot where the radius of the sphere is transformed according to the function values
Section Plot
Plot the intersection of the surf plot with a plane defined by a normal vector v
Spectral Plot
plotting the Fourier coefficients
The more specific plot options are covered in the respective classes.
