Hi,
I am wondering if there is a similar method to this [example](https://github.com/JuliaPlots/ExamplePlots.jl/blob/master/notebooks/errorbars.ipynb) in `Plots.jl` but for surfaces instead. For example, the collection of points is specified by coordinates (x,y,z,err) where err is the error.
Thank you for your help,
Best regards

You mean, like plotting semi-transparent spheres (with `R=err`) with a visible dot in the center? Or how would such a plot look like?

That could be . I was thinking like this example:
