[pstricks] can planes be fused with \pSolid surfaces? a desperate plea

[Jean-Paul Vignault]

Hi,

Sorry for my late response. It seems there is a bug in solides.pro,
and the object "plane" is not a solid type.

Waiting the bug is fixed, you can try something with code jps. For
example :

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% !TEX TS-program = latex
\listfiles
\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{pst-solides3d}
\begin{document}

%\axesIIID(4,4,2)(5,5,6)
\begin{pspicture}(-0.5,-3.5)(3,3.5)
\psset{lightsrc=50 40 30, viewpoint=15 30 50 rtp2xyz,Decran=50}
\psset{solidmemory}
\defFunction[algebraic]{SurfFunction}(x,y){}{} { (x^2-3*y^2)/2 }
\psSolid[object=surface,
   fillcolor=lightgray,
   incolor=green,
   ngrid=0.1 0.1,
   base=0 1.5 0 1.0,
   function=SurfFunction,
   action=none,
   name=graphsurf,
]
%
\psSolid[object=plan,
   definition=normalpoint,
   args={1.0 0.5 0.125 [-1.0 1.5 1]},
   fillcolor=red!50,
%  opacity=0.4,
   base=-0.75 0.75 -0.5 0.5,
   action=draw**,
   ngrid=0.2 0.2,
   showbase,
   name=tanplane,
]
\codejps {
/TEST tanplane newplan def %% now, TEST is from solid type
}
\psSolid[object=fusion,
   base={graphsurf TEST},
   action=draw**]
\end{pspicture}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Hope this help,
