Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Tikz curved rectangle

[Prakhor]

I would like to curve a R^2 plane in Tikz so that it looks similar to the file attached. I've searched the internet but found nothing. Do anyone know how I could realize this?

Here is a link that can help you with the rectangular prism. Please try to create a MWE

Hi Prakhor,

welcome to the forum!

That looks like a job for pgfplots. For example, taken from the pgfplots manual and changed a bit:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[border=10pt]{standalone}
\usepackage{pgfplots}
\usepgfplotslibrary{colormaps}
\pgfplotsset{width=7cm,compat=newest,ticks=none}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\begin{axis}[
%    title={$x \exp(-x^2-y^2)$}, 
%    xlabel=$x$, ylabel=$y$,
	small,
	3d box=complete,
]
\addplot3[
	surf,
	colormap/bone,
	domain=-2:2,
	domain y=-1.3:1.3,
] 
	{exp(-x^2-y^2)*x};
\end{axis}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
