The viewing angle is set initially so that you are viewing the plot
by looking down the z axis. You can change the viewing angle as
necessary.
¦
The plot is shown in expanded view. To switch between
expanded and normal view, press

IMPLICIT
PLOT
For an implicit plot:
¦ The
ncontour
Window variable (page 168) has no affect. Only the
z=0 contour is drawn, regardless of the value of
ncontour
. The
displayed plot shows where the implicit form intersects the
xy plane.
¦ You can use the cursor keys (page 164) to animate the plot.
¦ You cannot trace (
…
) the implicit plot itself. However, you can
trace the unseen wire frame graph of the 3D equation.
¦ It may take awhile to evaluate the equation initially.
¦ Because of possible long evaluation times, you first may want to
experiment with your 3D equation by using
Style=WIRE FRAME
.
The evaluation time is much shorter. Then, after you’re sure you
have the correct Window variable values, set
Style=IMPLICIT PLOT
.
