I lied. OK, see the JVXL file at
http://stolaf.edu/people/hansonr/chemapps/jmol/docs/misc/cone.jvxl
for a the surface z = sqrt(x^2 + y^2). Because it is a JVXL file, you can go
in and change the axes, change the scaling, change the origin, etc., and
have any cone you want. Even elliptical cones.
This was created at
http://chemapps.stolaf.edu/jmol/docs/examples-11/isosurface.htm?USSIGNEDAPPLET&topic=14
by entering
Math.sqrt(x^2 + y^2) into the input box, clicking the link discussed there
to "set the function" and then issuing the following on the command line:
javascript "x0=-5;y0=-5;dx=.2;dy=.2";isosurface functionXY "curveAsStringXY"
{-5 -5 -5} {-51 0.2 0 0} {51 0 0.2 0} {51 0 0 0.2};
followed by
write isosurface "cone.jvxl"
That instructs Jmol to get the Z coordinate of the function from the
JavaScript function curveAsStringXY, which reads:
function curveAsStringXY(app, nX, nY) {
var i1 = Math.abs(parseInt(""+nX));
var i2 = Math.abs(0.0 + parseInt(""+nY));
var s = ""
for (var i = 0; i < i1; i++)
for (var j = 0; j < i2; j++) {
s+= curveXY("",i, j) + "\n";
}
return s;
}
x0 = 0
y0 = 0
dx = 1
dy = 1
x = 0
y = 0
function curveXY(app, ix, iy) {
setXY(ix, iy)
return eval(myfunction);
}
function setXY(ix, iy) {
x = ix * dx + x0
y = iy * dy + y0
}
function setFunction(f,isSilent){
myfunction = (arguments.length<1?document.getElementById("fOfXY").value:f)
var x=1
var y=1
var z=NaN
try{eval("z="+myfunction)}catch(e){alert(e)}
if(isNaN(z)){
alert("Your function is invalid")
myfunction = "(x*x+y*y)"
}
try{curveXY("",1,1)}catch(e){alert(e);return}
if (!isSilent)alert("The function Jmol will use is now z=" + myfunction)
}
myfunction = "(x*x + y*y)/3"
setFunction(myfunction,1)
