It's good insofar as it goes, but wouldn't this be better done as an animation, rotating about the vertical axis, say? Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 01:51, 28 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose : As far as I can tell it's impossible to know what the blue grid is doing unless you can rotate the image to understand the three dimensional disposition of the points. I work with these surfaces on occasion but can't tell what this diagram is supposed to show. A simpler distortion and / or smaller grid might make it clearer.
