Multiple Planes through Surfaces
Requires a Wolfram Notebook System
Interact on desktop, mobile and cloud with the free Wolfram Player or other Wolfram Language products.
This Demonstration lets you control a variable skew plane cutting a sphere, ellipsoid, cone, paraboloid, or hyperboloid, with an option to change the contours or opacities of the component parts. The three coordinate planes are also shown.
