Shadow: the quartic B(x,y)^2 - 4 A(x,y) C(x,y) = 0 is drawn on the z=-4 xy-plane in the same 3D scene. The translucent ruled curtain rises upward from the shadow to the ramification curve where the lifted point has z >= -2 and lies above the displayed projection plane. The 3 real projected lines on the xy-plane are bitangents found from the projective lines on the cubic surface. Same-color transparent line projection cones are included but hidden by default; use the page toggle to show them.
Viewing box: axis ranges are [-4, 4].
