Hi
i was wondering if anyone could please help me and give me a name for the shape in the link below
http://www.electrostatics3d.com/geo/geometry.gif
anything would be appreicated?
Thank in advance
the figure is representing a 3d cartesian space, and the squares represent a section of each axial plane, the yellow square representing part of the xy plane, red the yz plane, and green the xz plane.
As far as i am aware there is no name for that exact shape.

It could be called the intersection points of the planes x=0, y=0, and z=0.

Perhaps a more aesthetic name would be, "The locus of xyz=0".
I too agree that such an object is most likely unnamed. After a few seconds thought, you should realize that indeed most geometric shapes are unnamed.
