Student[MultivariateCalculus][CrossSectionTutor] - plot or animate the intersection between a curve and a plane
Calling Sequence
CrossSectionTutor()
CrossSectionTutor(f(x,y), g(x,y,z)=K, x=a..b, y=c..d)
CrossSectionTutor(f(x,y,z), g(x,y,z)=K, x=a..b, y=c..d, z=e..f)
Parameters
f(x, y)
-
(optional) algebraic function in two variables
f(x, y, z)
(optional) equation in three variables
g(x, y, z)
(optional) linear algebraic function representing the plane
K
(optional) constant, list, or range representing the constant in the plane equation
x, y, z
(optional) variable
a..b, c..d, e..f
(optional) intervals
Description
The CrossSectionTutor command launches a tutor interface that computes, plots, and animates the resultant cross section between plane(s) and a curve.
If f(x,y), g(x,y,z)=K, x=a..b, y=c..d, and z=e..f are not specified, CrossSectionTutor uses defaults.
The CrossSection command offers equivalent capabilities to CrossSectionTutor where interaction takes place in the worksheet interface. See the Student[MultivariateCalculus][CrossSection] help page.
To change the default colors of the plot objects, see the Student[SetColors] help page.
When the CrossSectionTutor is running, interaction with the worksheet is not possible.
