I plotted the left curve using regular ParametricPlot3D
. In parts where the curve overlaps itself, it is unclear which segment is in the foreground and which in the background. At least for more complicated curves, this can make it tricky to fully graps the spacial embedding.
Is there a way to achieve the effect in the right image (I did it with photoshop)? Maybe by creating some white "halo" around the curve (in some clever way)?
Minimal working code example
ParametricPlot3D[
{Cos[t], Sin[t], 0.13 t}, {t, -10, 10},
PlotStyle -> {Black, Thickness[0.013]},
Axes -> None,
Boxed -> False
]
ParametricPlot3D
into a tube, so that I can apply this idea", and yes I want to useParametricPlot3D
and notGraphics3D
. $\endgroup$
