Ok. Managed to do it.
Used about 1000 vertices and 3000 faces.

Is there at least a way to reduce the line width?

Ok. I found a first hack:
and as option for the tikzpicture enviroment:
Unfortunatly the result has some problem with determining its size.

Hello.

I am using the tikz-3dplot package in order to plot some spherical harmonics.

The resulting tikzpicture contains an unsymmetric margin around the spherical harmonic. How can I get rid of this?

I want to render a 3d shape by triangles.

I have got two things:

1) a list of vertices
2) a list of triangles, defined by 3 numbers, which represent the linenumber in the vertices list

Someting like this:


\begin{minipage}{\textwidth}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\begin{axis}[view/h=120, width=\linewidth]
\addplot3[

patch,
patch type=triangle,%polygon,
patch table ={faces.data}
]
table[header=false, x index=0, y index=1, z index=2] {vert.data};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end ...

I have got two files one containing vertices (one per line) and another containing the three coordinates of the triangle in form of indexes, as they appear in the first file (one triangle per line).

Is there a way to render a three dimensional surface from that?
How can I access coordinates from ...

Yes looked at the manual. Couldn't find any answer there.
I mean the black lines (example) other than the axis (surface lines on sphere).
Changing the color makes no sense, passing no line color argument, doesn't work and setting the linewidth to zero by: \pgfsetlinewidth{.0pt} compiles, without ...

Hello everybody,

just took notice of the tikz-3dplot package and especially the \tdplotsphericalsurfaceplot macro.

Is there any way to omit drawing the lines, e.g. in http://www.texample.net/tikz/examples/s ... th-3dplot/?
