[pstricks] multido

[Zbigniew Nitecki]

Thanks, that worked.  (My truly silly mistake was starting \ry at -0.1  
instead of -1.0.)

I thought I recalled some discussion that such things could also be  
clipped.  Can I somehow define a straight \psplot  for the function of  
two variables 4x^2+y^2, say over -1<x<1 and -1<y<1, and then clip the  
parts where z>0?
