Ultimately I'm trying to draw the tiling of a sphere with triangle group (2,3,4) (i.e., Coxeter complex B3) and shade in various lunes. I figured out how to draw the tiling of the sphere using the blocsphere package (as shown with code below). But I can't for the life of me figure out how to now fill the area between two great circles using blocsphere. Any help with trying to code both the Coxeter complex as well as a lune would be appreciated Here's the code that I have for the tiling of the sphere:
\documentclass{amsart}
\usepackage{blochsphere}
\pgfsetlayers{back,main,front}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\begin{scope}
\begin{blochsphere}[radius=1.5 cm,tilt=25,rotation=-20,nested=true]
% The next line is automatically included when not nesting
% but needs to be here when nesting
\drawBall
\drawBallGrid[style={draw,opacity=1}]{360}{45}
\drawGreatCircle{45}{0}%[style={dashed}]
\drawGreatCircle{-45}{0}%[style={dashed}]
\drawGreatCircle{45}{-90}
\drawGreatCircle{-45}{-90}
\end{blochsphere}
\end{scope}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
blochsphere
at all.\documentclass{...}
, the required\usepackage
's,\begin{document}
, and\end{document}
. That may seem tedious to you, but think of the extra work it represents for the users willing to give you a hand. Help them help you: remove that one hurdle between you and a solution to your problem.
