i am trying to plot a wave function on the surface of a torus. i used
ParametricPlot3D[{(1 + .5Sin[u]) Cos[v], (1 + .5Sin[u] )*Sin[v], .5*
Cos[u]}, {u, 0, 2Pi, Pi/20}, {v, 0, 2*Pi, Pi/20}]
to generate the surface of the torus, but no number of "Hue" manipulations
seems to give me a way to get colors to render the wave function amplitude
on the surface of the thing. i am actually using a properly normalized
psi*|psi so everything in Hue lies between zero and one. i am still a
novice, so any help would be appreciated.
thanks in advance
