The discussion focuses on creating non-circular blob surfaces in TikZ, a powerful tool for creating graphics in LaTeX. The initial example demonstrates a circular surface with a normal vector, but the user seeks to modify this to achieve a blob-like shape. Participants suggest exploring ways to adjust the shape beyond simple circles, indicating a need for techniques that allow for more organic forms in TikZ graphics.
PREREQUISITESThis discussion is beneficial for graphic designers, LaTeX users, and anyone interested in advanced TikZ techniques for creating complex shapes and surfaces in their documents.
\begin{tikzpicture}[scale = 1.5]
\draw (0,0) circle (1cm) node[anchor = north east]{$\text{S}$};
\draw[->] (.70710678118,.70710678118) -- (1.4,1.4) node[anchor = south east]{$\vec{n}$};
\end{tikzpicture}Do you mean something like $\bullet$dwsmith said:Code:\begin{tikzpicture}[scale = 1.5] \draw (0,0) circle (1cm) node[anchor = north east]{$\text{S}$}; \draw[->] (.70710678118,.70710678118) -- (1.4,1.4) node[anchor = south east]{$\vec{n}$}; \end{tikzpicture}
I have made a circular surface with normal vector. How can I make blob instead?

Maybe there is a way to change the size of this \bullet
