Hi, I’m trying to plot streamlines on a sphere, using the StreamLinesRepresentation plug-in. I can generate the streamlines a couple of different ways but no matter how I generate them, when I add a sphere the streamlines on the far side of the sphere appear to show through. The image below shows stream tracers for reference, in color, and the streamlines in black.
