Show

Show
shows graphics with the specified options added.
Show

MORE INFORMATION
  • Show allows any option that can be applied to graphics to be given.

  • Show or Show concatenates the graphics primitives in the , effectively overlaying the graphics.
  • The lists of non-default options in the are concatenated.
  • Show applies the function defined as the setting for DisplayFunction, and returns the result. For ordinary notebook operation, this function is just Identity.
