TeX系列: tikz-3dplot绘图宏包

 tikz-3dplot包提供了针对TikZ的命令和坐标变换样式, 能够相对直接地绘制三维坐标系统和简单三维图形. tikz-3dplot包当前处于初创期, 有很多功能有待完善.

安装过程如下:

(1) 下载宏包tikz-3dplot.sty

http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/graphics/pgf/contrib/tikz-3dplot/

(2) 把上述文件拷贝至TeX的目录树上, 比如D:\texmf\tex\latex\tikz-3dplot, 在DOS命令窗口执行

  texhash

重建TeX目录树

 

尝试编译如下例子:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}           %for TikZ graphics
\usepackage{tikz-3dplot} %for 3dplot functionality
\usepackage[active,tightpage]{preview}      %generates a tightly fitting border around the work
\PreviewEnvironment{tikzpicture}
\setlength\PreviewBorder{2mm}
\begin{document}
\tdplotsetmaincoords{70}{135}
\begin{tikzpicture}[line join=bevel,tdplot_main_coords, fill opacity=.7]
\tdplotsphericalsurfaceplot[parametricfill]{72}{36}%
{sqrt(15/2)*sin(\tdplottheta)*cos(\tdplottheta)}{black}{\tdplotphi}%
    {\draw[color=black,thick,->] (0,0,0) -- (2,0,0) node[anchor=north east]{$x$};}%
    {\draw[color=black,thick,->] (0,0,0) -- (0,2,0) node[anchor=north west]{$y$};}%
    {\draw[color=black,thick,->] (0,0,0) -- (0,0,2) node[anchor=south]{$z$};}%
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

结果如下:
