Sorry, but I fail to see what the 3D aspect of this drawing brings to anything, other than to impress the gallery and look spiffy.
Just to make it clear: this wasn't an example for the gallery, but more or less the only asymptote example on my hard drive (excluding examples from the manual), just to help Aditya and Jeroen play with something.
I guess that we belong now to a society without any imagination, requiring lots of colors, shadowing (and even animation) in order to get an idea across...
Well, if you want to be a purist: why do you need figures at all? One can easily represent all the data in tables and describe images like this one in pure mathematical formulation.
P.S. the green y-axis looks really odd in your example.
I know, but I don't know the reason for that "weirdness". I added the axis just because I kept forgetting orientation of axes – the axes themselves weren't part of the drawing, so I didn't try to search for solution to make it look better. Mojca
