Three Dimensional Rotations in Grapher

[adam912]

I have a piecewise function in Grapher that I would like to rotate about the y-axis. Right now, this is what I have inputted.

x=-10/y (y>-10)&(y<-1)
x=10 (y>-1)&(y<.2)
x=2/y (y>.2)&(y<3)

Is there a way that I can rotate this about the y-axis in 3 dimensions? Thanks!

Go in this menu option. I don't know what it is in english but it should be at the same spot. It toggles the 2D/3D render modes.

Right, I can view it in 3D, but the issue I'm having is actually rotating it about the y-axis, so that it creates a sort of chiseled-out cylinder.

In that case just create a 3D equation, using Z=as the function, and X as the variable.

It should work. (At least it did with my y=x^2 vs z=x^2 example)

Attachment : two kind of 2D lines (A1 and B1) then 3D surfaces A2 and B2.
It's better to avoid lines parallel to axes in the 2D definition line as done in B1.
Is that what you wanted ?
Any question about Grapher by e-mail welcome.
