Drawing three dimensional solid faces.

The package pst-solides3d, with the help of PSTricks, allows for 3D views of predefined or user-generated solids. You will find most of the usual solids, which can be drawn with or without hidden edges, whose colour can be varied with lightning.

This package can project text or simple graphics (in 2D) onto arbitrarily chosen planes or onto plane faces of solids that are created by the user.
