Thanks. pst-vue3d is excellent. Now instead of a sphere,<br>
I would like to plot the circular paraboloid f(x,y) = x^2 + y^2,
clipped (bounded) by the plane z = 1, which resembles a bowl, close to
a semi-sphere.<br>
<br>
I have looked at the code of the sphere and semi-sphere in pst-vue3d to see if I could define the paraboloid but it is<br>
beyond me.<br>
<br>
Any help is appreciated.<br>

Thanks,<br>

P.S. I have also checked sketch, which is appears to be very good, but couldn't see how it can be done.<br>
