tikz-3dplot and drawing curves and surfaces in 3D
I used the tiikz and tikz-3dplot packages a bit to draw figures in 3D and 3D. I however never yet plotted a mathematical function, and am not sure how to do it.
Could someone please give me a minumal example? The examples I find on the internet are all very complicated plots and drawings.
In particular I would like to plot the curve: z(x) = 1-x^2, on the interval xin(-1, 1). For the moment I would only need this in 2D, but ultimately it should be a curve in a 3D plot, where I also want to plot the surface z(x,y) = 1-x^2-y.
Thanks for help!

Please specify what you mean by "mathematical function". Do you want to do a parametric plot, i.e. plot a curve, or a surface (in which case I would think you are much better off with pgfplots).

Ultimately I am aiming at producing flow plots like the figures on pages 16 and 17 of this paper here: arxiv.org/pdf/gr-qc/0210031.pdf So I need to plot curves with arrows on them, and the curves can lie on surfaces, or within a 3 dimensional body.
