Hi PF!
I have a vector valued function ##f(s) = r(s)\hat r + z(s)\hat z## that plots a line in the ##r##,##z## plane when I use ParametricPlot. I'd like to plot this line into a surface, so that it revolves around the ##z## axis, but in a sinusoidal fashion. Basically I'd like to revolve it around the ##z## axis as ##\cos(l \theta) : l = 0,1,2...##. So ##l=0## would imply axisymmetric, while ##l>0## would imply a different sort of symmetry.
Thanks for your help!
