Re: Drawing Surfaces/Solids of Revolution

[Kiam Heong Kwa]

Thanks for all of you who replied.

 

I'm sorry for not being explicit enough. I am in fact thinking of where I can find a general piece of code - sorry for having implied that I don't want to write a piece of code - general enough so that the graph of any sufficiently smooth function can be rotated to obtain the so-called surface/solid of revolution.

 

In fact, I don't mind if I have to write a piece of code. In fact, that'll be even more interesting, I guess. So, is there any place I can find any guidance online?

 

Thanks again and have a good evening.
