Thanks, this was quite a tiny weekend project for you :) I'll keep you tip in mind.
Concerning the foreground/background issue: The problem here seems quite random. It does not depend on the viewing angle. I rather just have to be lucky everytime the plot command is executed. If the plotting went right, I can rotate everything without any errors. I'm by no means a coder, but I find it hard to understand that executing the same script leads to a different outcome. My plan is to make a movie of the cylinder while shrinking. If the problem would just depend on the viewing angle, I would find a 'good angle', make it constant and start the loop. But at the moment the outcome is just arbitrary.
