For an implicit plot:
•
The
ncontour
regardless of the value of ncontour. The displayed plot shows where the implicit form
intersects the xy plane.
•
You can use the cursor keys to animate the plot.
•
You cannot trace (...) the implicit plot itself. However, you can trace the unseen wire
frame graph of the 3D equation.
•
It may take awhile to evaluate the equation initially.
•
Because of possible long evaluation times, you first may want to experiment with
your 3D equation by using Style=WIRE FRAME. The evaluation time is much
shorter. Then, after you're sure you have the correct Window variable values, set
Style=IMPLICIT PLOT.

You can use the IMPLICIT PLOT graph format style to plot and animate a complicated
equation that cannot be graphed otherwise. Although it may take a long time to evaluate
such a graph, the visual results can justify the time required.
