Filling the middle of a torus in Tikz












5















I drawed the following torus using Tikz:





begin{tikzpicture}
fill[blue] (7.5,0) ellipse (1 and .75);
draw (7.5,0) ellipse (1 and .75);
begin{scope}
clip (7.5,-.9) ellipse (1 and 1.25);
draw (7.5,1.1) ellipse (1 and 1.25);
end{scope}
begin{scope}
clip (7.5,1.1) ellipse (1 and 1.25);
draw (7.5,-1.1) ellipse (1 and 1.25);
end{scope}
end{tikzpicture}


I want to color the middle of it white, so it can really look like a torus. How could I do it?

An answer with some really minimal changes and no additional libraries:



documentclass{article}
usepackage{tikz}
%usetikzlibrary{intersections}
begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}
fill[blue] (7.5,0) ellipse (1 and .75);
draw (7.5,0) ellipse (1 and .75);
begin{scope}
clip (7.5,-.9) ellipse (1 and 1.25);
draw(7.5,1.1) ellipse (1 and 1.25);
clip (7.5,1.1) ellipse (1 and 1.25);
draw (7.5,-1.1) ellipse (1 and 1.25);
fill[white] (7.5,-1.1) ellipse (1 and 1.25);
end{scope}
end{tikzpicture}
end{document}


An answer with fillbetweewn library (useful in many other cases):



documentclass{article}
usepackage{tikz}
usepackage{pgfplots}
pgfplotsset{compat=1.15}
usepgfplotslibrary{fillbetween}
begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}
fill[blue] (7.5,0) ellipse (1 and .75);
draw (7.5,0) ellipse (1 and .75);
begin{scope}
clip (7.5,-.9) ellipse (1 and 1.25);
path[draw,name path= A](7.5,1.1) ellipse (1 and 1.25);
clip (7.5,1.1) ellipse (1 and 1.25);
path[draw,name path=B] (7.5,-1.1) ellipse (1 and 1.25);
fill [white,
intersection segments={
of=A and B,
sequence={A1--B1}
}];
end{scope}

    With even odd rule it is a two-liner. (I would strongly advise against filling some area white because if you use this on top of any background, you will regret it.)



    documentclass[tikz,border=3.14mm]{standalone}
    begin{document}
    begin{tikzpicture}
    draw[fill=blue,even odd rule] (7.5,0) ellipse (1 and .75)
    (7,0) arc(120:60:1 and 1.25) arc(-60:-120:1 and 1.25);
    draw (7,0) arc(-120:-130:1 and 1.25) (8,0) arc(-60:-50:1 and 1.25);

                  With even odd rule it is a two-liner. (I would strongly advise against filling some area white because if you use this on top of any background, you will regret it.)



                  documentclass[tikz,border=3.14mm]{standalone}
                  begin{document}
                  begin{tikzpicture}
                  draw[fill=blue,even odd rule] (7.5,0) ellipse (1 and .75)
                  (7,0) arc(120:60:1 and 1.25) arc(-60:-120:1 and 1.25);
                  draw (7,0) arc(-120:-130:1 and 1.25) (8,0) arc(-60:-50:1 and 1.25);
                  end{tikzpicture}
                  end{document}
