ParametricPlot3D

ParametricPlot3D[{, , }, {t, tmin, tmax}] produces a three-dimensional space curve parametrized by a variable t which runs from tmin to tmax.

ParametricPlot3D[{, , }, {t, tmin, tmax}, {u, umin, umax}] produces a three-dimensional surface parametrized by t and u.

ParametricPlot3D[{, , }, {, , }, ... }, ... ] plots several objects together.

ParametricPlot3D[{, , }, {t, tmin, tmax}, "style"] generates a three-dimensional parametric plot of {, , } in the designated style.

ParametricPlot3D[{, , }, {t, tmin, tmax}, "style1", "style2"] generates a three-dimensional parametric plot of {, , } in the primary style,"style1" and the secondary style, "style2".

Primary plot styles for 3D plots include: Default, Technical, Minimal, Business, and Colorful.

Secondary plot styles for 3D plots include: Frame, NoFrame, Grid, NoGrid, SmallPoints, LargePoints, Tall, Wide, ViewLeft, ViewRight, and ViewCenter.

ParametricPlot3D[{, , }, {t, tmin, tmax}, {zmin, zmax}] generates a three-dimensional parametric plot of {, , } over the specified z-axis range from zmin to zmax.

ParametricPlot3D[{, , }, {t, tmin, tmax}, "style", {zmin, zmax}] combines both specifications for plot style and z-axis range.

Entering Commands Directly

You can paste a template for this command via the Text Input button on the ParametricPlot3D Function Controller.

This makes a parametric plot that projects into a Lissajous figure.
