Cuboid
Cuboid
[{
x
min
,
y
min
,
z
min
}]
is a three-dimensional graphics primitive that represents a unit cuboid, oriented parallel to the axes.
Cuboid
[{
x
min
,
y
min
,
z
min
}, {
x
max
,
y
max
,
z
max
}]
specifies a cuboid by giving the coordinates of opposite corners.
MORE INFORMATION
Each face of the cuboid (rectangular parallelepiped) is effectively a
Polygon
object, with its front face on the outside.
You can specify how the faces and edges of the cuboid should be rendered using the same graphics directives as for polygons.
»
Cuboids can be specified as transparent using
Opacity
directives.
»
The coordinates of the corners of the cuboid can be given using
Scaled
.
»
Cuboid
[]
is equivalent to
Cuboid
[{0, 0, 0}]
.
