Save your work before attempting: Could someone confirm what looks like a bug (definitely occurs in v10 and OSX 10.8.5):
In the documentation for Background
and under Neat Examples, the following snippet
ContourPlot3D[x^4 + y^4 + z^4 - (x^2 + y^2 + z^2) == -1/2, {x, -1, 1}, {y, -1,
1}, {z, -1, 1}, Mesh -> 15, MeshFunctions -> {#1^2 + #2^2 + #3^2 &},
MeshShading -> {None, Directive[Blue, Specularity[White, 50]], None,
Directive[Yellow, Specularity[White, 50]]}, PlotPoints -> 35,
MeshStyle -> Opacity[.3], Axes -> False, Boxed -> False,
Background -> GrayLevel[.1]]
is found. Evaluating it on my system, crashes my Kernel. Is it a bug or..? without any options, it evaluates fine:
ContourPlot3D[x^4 + y^4 + z^4 - (x^2 + y^2 + z^2) == -1/2, {x, -1, 1}, {y, -1,
1}, {z, -1, 1}]
and with the option Mesh->15
Mathematica becomes unresponsive and requires a restart:
ContourPlot3D[x^4 + y^4 + z^4 - (x^2 + y^2 + z^2) == -1/2, {x, -1, 1}, {y, -1,
1}, {z, -1, 1}, Mesh->15]
None
value inMeshShading
. For exampleMeshShadind->{Red,Blue,Yellow}
works but notMeshShadind->{Red,None,Yellow}
. $\endgroup$Mesh->15
(evenMesh->50
works for me). $\endgroup$None
s inMeshShading
as you suggested, it works withMesh->
anything. Odd... $\endgroup$
