Gurzen and everybody,
I made an earlier reply to this question where I assumed that the original
poster wanted a contour plot of the function. However, Bob Hanlon assumed a
Plot3D type solution. The DrawingCube package also allows that type of plot.
It plots only in the desired region and it does not produce a jagged edge
along one side as the Hanlon solution does. Here is the code:
Needs["Graphics`DrawingCube`"]
IteratorSubstitution[x y, {y, 0, x}]
{w*x^2, {w, 0, 1}}
Show[Graphics3D[
{Draw3D[w x^2, {x, 0, 2}, {w, 0, 1}] /.
DrawingTransform3D[Function[{x, w, z}, x], Function[{x, w, z}, x
w],
Function[{x, w, z}, z]]}],
AspectRatio -> Automatic, PlotRange -> {{0, 2}, {0, 2}, {0, 4}}];
The Drawing packages can be downloaded from my web site below.
