<div>Hello, Herbert,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>thanks for helping. It worked with pst-vue3d. The cause of trouble were indeed the THETA and PHI parameters!</div>
<div>So, we proudly present (see attachment polarkoo.pdf)</div>
<div> </div>
Just for your information, no help necessary:
<div>I also tried to include pst-solides3d and created a sphere. It worked with fillstyle= solid, (except for the grid, which I don't want)</div>
<div><strong>but not with fillstyle= gradient: It compiles in MikTeX without error, but Ghostview throws an error and the Foxit pdf reader shows a white sphere.</strong></div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div><strong>Just for your information, no help needed:</strong> here is that minimal code:
<div>\documentclass{article<br/>
\usepackage{pst-solides3d}<br/>
\usepackage{pst-grad}<br/>
\begin{document}</div>
<div>\begin{pspicture}(-5,-4)(5,4)<br/>
%\psSolid[object=sphere,r=2,fillstyle=solid,fillcolor=lightgray]<strong>% ok, works!</strong><br/>
\psSolid[object=sphere,r=2,fillstyle=gradient,gradbegin=lightgray,gradend=white, gradmidpoint=0,<br/>
GradientCircle=true, GradientScale=1.0,<br/>
GradientPos={(0,0)}]]<strong>% causes the above-mentioned error!</strong><br/>
\end{pspicture}%</div>
<div>\end{document}</div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Anyway, thank you again very much for your help!</div>
<div>Angelika</div>

You are using package pst-vue3d which is obsolete since years. You<br/>
should switch to package pst-solides3d. However, if you want to see<br/>
a circle then you have to use the correct viewpoint of the 3d<br/>
coordinate system:<br/>
<br/>
\documentclass{article}<br/>
\usepackage{pst-vue3d}<br/>
\begin{document}<br/>
<br/>
\begin{pspicture}(-5,-4)(5,4)<br/>
\psset{THETA=45,PHI=45}<br/>
\CircleThreeD(0,0,0){30}<br/>
\end{pspicture}%<br/>
<br/>
\end{document}<br/>
<br/>
