Whenever Mathematica draws a three-dimensional object, it always effectively puts a cuboidal box around the object. With the default option setting Boxed->True, Mathematica ...

Mathematica's graphics language is carefully designed to make it easy to control—both manually and programmatically—the detailed appearance and labeling of graphics, while ...

You can rotate 3D graphics with your mouse. Move the pointer over the 3D graphic. The pointer changes to the 3D rotate pointer GraphicsBox[RasterBox[CompressedData[ ]], ...

Orthogonal polynomials. Legendre polynomials LegendreP[n,x] arise in studies of systems with three-dimensional spherical symmetry. They satisfy the differential equation ...

Of particular importance in handling high-throughput programmatic graphics are Mathematica's sophisticated mechanisms for controlling graphics size and shape—allowing ...

Trim Bounding Box trims the 3D graphics frame while the graphic is being rotated.

Building on Mathematica's unique base of visualization and graphics capabilities, Mathematica 7 adds several important new areas. Emphasizing integration and automation, ...

Combinatorial functions. The factorial function n! gives the number of ways of ordering n objects. For non-integer n, the numerical value of n! is obtained from the gamma ...

QRDecomposition[m] yields the QR decomposition for a numerical matrix m. The result is a list {q, r}, where q is an orthogonal matrix and r is an upper-triangular matrix.

Mathematica allows you to treat abstract 3D graphics using familiar physical metaphors. It provides not only real-time 3D manipulation, but also detailed programmatic control ...
