I would like to add a black outline (silhouette) all around a closed surface. Here's a MWE code to work with : Manipulate[ SphericalPlot3D[1, {theta, 0, Pi}, {phi, t, 2Pi + t}, Mesh -> {7, 7}, MaxRecursion -> ControlActive[2, 5], PlotRange -> All, Boxed -> False, Axes -> None, SphericalRegion -> True, Method -> {"RotationControl" -> "Globe"}, ImageSize -> {500, 500} ], {{t, 0, Style["t", 10]}, 0, 2Pi, 0.01} ] So is it possible to draw a thin line all around that sphere, to make it standing out of the white background ? **EDIT :** By "outline" (or "silhouette", or "profile"), I mean some curve like the circle around the ball shown below (the outline should be made for any surface, not just for the sphere defined in the code above !) ![a sphere with an outline][1] [1]: http://s10.postimg.org/bdw15vf1l/outlinecolor.jpg The outline should be drawn around the whole surface's exterior, and don't apply to parts inside the surface (except if it has holes).
