MeshShading

MeshShading
is an option for plotting functions that gives lists of colors to use for regions between mesh divisions.

MeshShading specifies that directives should be used cyclically for each of the n+1 regions defined by n mesh divisions.

MeshShading specifies that the should be used cyclically for the patch defined by two mesh functions.

If k mesh functions are specified, the setting for MeshShading should be an array of depth k.

The default setting MeshShading->None specifies that no additional directives associated with mesh regions should be added.

The elements of the MeshShading array should be color directives such as RGBColor, Hue, or named colors such as Red and Blue. They can also include Opacity.

In cases where regions defined by MeshShading are surfaces, directives such as EdgeForm, FaceForm, and Specularity can be used.

When the regions defined by MeshShading are lines, directives such as Thickness and Dashing can also be used.
