VertexColors

VertexColors
is an option for graphics primitives which specifies the colors to assign to vertices.
  • VertexColors->{col1, col2, ...} specifies that color coli should be assigned to vertex i.
  • The interior of the polygon is colored by interpolating between the colors specified by VertexColors.
  • In 3D, settings for VertexColors can include any surface or material property, to be used with simulated lighting.
  • The colors coli for each vertex can be an explicit color directive such as GrayLevel[g] or RGBColor[r, g, b], or can have the following forms:
gGrayLevel[g]
{g,a}GrayLevel[g, a]
{r,g,b}RGBColor[r, g, b]
{r,g,b,a}RGBColor[r, g, b, a]
