Hi All,

I want to make a ellipsoid (but it the same question for any object)
completly transparent but still having the contour in plain whatever
colour.

example, for a box, it would be easy to, instead of ploting a box, ploting
thin cylinders that would represent the box frame.

But, what about an ellipsoid ? I make ellipsoid by plotting a sphere and
scaling it by the command scale<0,0,A> which will scale the object in the
direction z by A. It's easy to make it more or less transparent but I don't
know how to keep the frame (if it's possible)

Thanks in advance for your help.

David from Sheffield (England)
