Hi, Dave, try this: SphericalPlot3D[ Cos[\[Theta]/2]^2, {\[Theta], 0, \[Pi]}, {\[CurlyPhi], 0, 2 \[Pi]}, ViewPoint -> {1, 0, -2}] Have fun, Alexei I'm new to Mathematica, sorry. I would like to draw a cardioid rotated about its polar axis. I checked the Mathematica wiki and it did not cover this topic (that I could find). Can someone help me to understand how to do this in Mathematica? Dave -- Alexei Boulbitch, Dr. habil. Senior Scientist Material Development IEE S.A.
