13:07 <Intelligitimate> Hmm...
13:16 <Prax01D> ?
14:15 <Intelligitimate> Still waiting.
14:59 <Prax01D> Loox like the weekend is not a good time...
14:59 <Prax01D> Hope you're scouring the dox...

16:48 <rtoym> <rtoym>	plot3d(sqrt(1-x^2-y^2),[x,-1,1],[y,-1,1]); plots the upper hemisphere. Don't know how to do the whole sphere. Maybe some parametric form will plot the whole sphere.
16:49 <Intelligitimate> Hmm...
16:53 <rtoym> ? plot3d will give you some documentation, if you haven't already tried that.
16:56 <Intelligitimate> So it's not like Maple, where you can just put in 3 variables?
17:00 <rtoym> Not having Maple, I can't really say.  But maxima doens't seem to have any kind of implicit plot.  But I could be wrong.
17:04 <rtoym>  plot3d([sin(phi)*cos(theta),sin(phi)*sin(theta),cos(phi)],[phi,-%pi,%pi],[theta,0,%pi]);
17:04 <rtoym> Googling for parametric equation for sphere gives several hits.  That's one of them.
17:06 <rtoym> (Except it looks more like an ellipsoid because the axes aren't square)
17:06 <Intelligitimate> Isn't the the spherical coordinates?
17:06 <Intelligitimate> *that the
17:06 <rtoym> Yes,   (I think I got the limits wrong.)

19:09 <HaraldG> There is the implicit_plot package by Andrej Vodopivec, but it seems it only handles two dimensions.
19:35 <Prax01D> Where is that implicit_plot ?
19:37 <HaraldG> I don't know when it became available. I have 5.10.99rc3.
19:42 <Prax01D> I have 5.9.2
19:42 <Prax01D> I see it's in contrib/
