plotOptions3d -- scene options for 3D plots

Introduction

This page describes the scene options that may be used when generating 3D graphics via plot3d, plotfunc3d, plot::Scene, or plot. Scene options are attributes that determine the general appearance of a graphical scene such as camera point, background color, title, axes style etc.

Call(s)

plot3d( <SceneOpt1, SceneOpt2, ...>, graphical objects)
plotfunc3d( <SceneOpt1, SceneOpt2, ...>, graphical objects)
plot::Scene(graphical objects, <SceneOpt1, SceneOpt2, ...>)
plot(graphical objects, <SceneOpt1, SceneOpt2, ...>)

Parameters

graphical objects - see the help pages of plot3d, plotfunc3d, plot::Scene, and plot for details
