ContourStyle
ContourStyle
is an option for contour plots that specifies the style in which contour lines or surfaces should be drawn.
DetailsDetails
- ContourStyle->g specifies that a graphics directive g should be used to draw all contour lines or surfaces.
- ContourStyle->{g1, g2, ...} specifies that successive directives
should be used to draw successive contours. - If equations are given as input to ContourPlot or ContourPlot3D, the successive directives in ContourStyle->{g1, g2, ...} are used cyclically to draw contours for the successive equations.
- The directives that can be given include:
-
Dashing[{w1,...}] dashing specification Directive[g1,g2,...] composite graphics directive GrayLevel[i] intensity Hue[h] hue Opacity[a] opacity Red, Blue, etc. named colors RGBColor[r,g,b] RGB color Thickness[w] line thickness - For individual
, a list of directives is equivalent to Directive[...]. For a single g, a list of directives must be given as {list}. - ContourStyle->None specifies that no explicit contour lines or surfaces should be drawn. Contour shading and meshes are not affected.

Basic Examples (5)Basic Examples (5)
Contour lines are partially transparent by default:
| In[1]:= |
| Out[1]= | ![]() |
| In[1]:= |
| Out[1]= | ![]() |
Show only the regions between contours, but not the actual contours:
| In[1]:= |
| Out[1]= | ![]() |
Use partially transparent contour surfaces in three dimensions:
| In[1]:= |
| Out[1]= | ![]() |
Give an explicit list of styles for contours:
| In[1]:= |
| Out[1]= | ![]() |
