Rotate a 3-D Plot
You can rotate a three-dimensional plot for different points of view.
Click the plot to select it. (By default, the rotate tool is enabled. If another tool was previously enabled, then select Plot>Manipulator>Rotate from the main menu.)
Position the mouse pointer (rotate icon) in the plot.
Holding the left mouse button down, drag the mouse to re-orient the plot.
Release the mouse button when the plot is oriented as desired.
The values of the angles theta, phi and psi are displayed in the 3-D plot context menu bar to help you orient the plot.
Entering Values of Angles Directly
Enter the values of theta, phi and psi using the keyboard to obtain a particular orientation of a plot.
Click the plot to select it.
Edit the values of the angles theta, phi and psi in the 3-D plot context menu bar and press the Enter key. Alternatively, click the up and down arrows to increase and decrease the values of the angles.
An orientation can be specified within the plotting command itself. See plot3d[option] for details.
