# How can I rotate an already existing 2D/3D graph or shape along some axis?

First off, I'm total novice at this.

I have a graph like :

And I want to rotate this plotted graph along the x-axis to get something like:

So Is there a way/online tool /piece of code to do this kind of operation(rotation along any axis) in TeXStudio using Tikz-PGF, LaTex or do I have to write complete code for the output myself? Please suggest.

PS: I have to work with both 2D/3D graphs.

Run with pdflatex --shell-escape <file>

• As I said, I'm total novice at this. So can you please do me the favour of explaining this pdflatex command? Jun 20 '20 at 5:46
• @JustCurious: You don't know how to use pdflatex from within TeXStudio? Jun 21 '20 at 13:49
• Package pst-pdf Warning: File pdf-pics.pdf' not found. is the error I get after running it from shell. What should I do next? @MoneyOrientedProgrammer Jun 22 '20 at 4:10
• @JustCurious: Remove the first two \usepackage in the code above and leave the last one which is \usepackage{pst-func}. Now compilet the file with xelatex filename.tex. It takes several seconds to finish. If you want to save time, invoke the following latex filename.tex, dvips filename.dvi and ps2pdf filename.ps` in the order I wrote. Jun 22 '20 at 5:31
