> The tikz-3dplot package provides straightforward ways to define
> three-dimensional coordinate frames through which to plot in TikZ. The
> user can specify the orientation of the main coordinate frame, and use
> standard TikZ commands and coordinates to render their tikzfigure. A
> secondary coordinate frame is provided to allow rotations and
> translations with respect to the main coordinate frame. In addition,
> The tikz-3dplot package can also handle plotting user-specified
> functions in spherical polar coordinates, where both the radius and
> fill color can be expressed as parametric functions of polar angles.

thanks for the upload; i have installed the files and updated the
