# spherical polar plot of radial function [closed]

Can you please tell me how to plot $\sqrt{r}$ in 3d sph polar plot?

In the spherical plot 3d there is no option I can put variable r. So how should I proceed.

• So you want $\mathbb{R}^3\to \mathbb{R}$ function? In exactly this case maybe better just Plot[Sqrt[r],{r, 0, rmax}]. In more complicated example, mathematica.stackexchange.com/q/19575/5478 – Kuba Jan 24 '14 at 11:08
• @Kuba yes. actually I have to draw $|\bar{x}|^\frac{1}{2}$ where $\bar{x}\in \mathbb{R}^3$ i.e $\bar{x}=(x,y,z)$. – ricci1729 Jan 24 '14 at 11:10
• To plot $\sqrt{r}$ vs. $(x,y,z)$, you would need four coordinates. See for example these questions: 19575, 20023, 25277, 26636 - (Oh, Kuba beat to the first one while I was searching. :) – Michael E2 Jan 24 '14 at 11:19
• @MichaelE2 About that link, shouldn't the title be corrected to "3D functions", I mean, th "n" in "n-D functions" usualy reffers to dimension of a domain, doesn't it? – Kuba Jan 24 '14 at 11:23
• To MichaelE2 and Kuba Please correct me if I have mistakes. I need the plot in 3D. Please see this notes on sobolev space (pg 21, Fig 2.2)where I encountered this iecn.u-nancy.fr/~munnier/files/cours_edp.pdf I want to reproduce the plot and I got the problem. Thanking you both once again. – ricci1729 Jan 24 '14 at 11:27

ParametricPlot3D[{u, v, Sqrt@Sqrt[ u u + v v]}, {u, -2, 2}, {v, -2, 2},

• @Stefan Or just enclose the whole thing in Quiet[] :) – Dr. belisarius Jan 24 '14 at 14:09
