Ok, but note that if the shape is modelled with few rings, the white
area can be very irregular. Add more rings if this happens.
Note also that the program uses gray for areas where the electric
field or the potential exceeds what it should be if the surfaces
were continuous, and not split in thin rings. If you zoom in at the
surfaces, what you see is nonphysical, artifacts of the simulation
method.

This is the normal convention for angles.
