Options  (68)

Axes  (3)

ColorFunction  (7)

Use a named gradient from ColorData to color curves by their height:

Color curves by scaled values:

Color curves by scaled values:

Color curves by scaled values:

Colors from ColorFunction are used with the filled regions as well as the curve:

Colors from ColorFunction have higher priority than from PlotStyle:

Colors from ColorFunction combine with non-color styles from PlotStyle:

ColorFunctionScaling  (2)

Use unscaled coordinates:

Unscaled coordinates are dependent on DataRange:

DataRange  (4)

Arrays of height values are displayed against the number of elements in each direction:

Rescale to the sampling space:

Triples are interpreted as , , coordinates:

The dataset is normally interpreted as a list of , , triples:

Filling  (3)

Fill to the bottom, using "stems":

Filling occurs along the region cut by the RegionFunction:

Fill surface 1 to the bottom with blue and surface 2 to the top with red:

FillingStyle  (2)
