Explicit Surfaces as y=f(x,z) or x=f(y,z) #198

Open NeatNit opened 5 years ago

Title says it all - sometimes you need a surface that's y as an explicit function of x and z, etc., and currently the only way to do this is with implicit surfaces (which work a bit differently).

Edit: I've now realized that it can be easily done with a parametric surface, with [u, f(u,v), v]. Still, I think it would be nice to be able to switch.

Ah, glad you found that.

I'm definitely open to implementing this for explicit surfaces, though.
