This image was created as a pdf file by the following Python code, then rescaled and converted to SVG.

edgeColor = [color.rgb.black]

def distance(p,q):
    return sqrt(sum([(p[i]-q[i])**2 for i in (x,y,z)]))

def perspective(loc):
    dz = loc[z]-pov[z]

def vertex(p):
    lx,ly = perspective(p)
    prad = scale*1.1*tan(asin(radius/(distance(p,pov))))
