The Wolfram Language allows you to treat abstract 3D graphics using familiar physical metaphors. It provides not only real-time 3D manipulation, but also detailed programmatic control of features such as orientation, viewing geometry, and lighting, all tightly integrated with the Wolfram Language and real-time dynamic capabilities.

Viewing Geometry

ViewPoint — view point relative to the bounding box

ViewCenter, ViewVertical — orientation relative to the bounding box

Above  ▪  Below  ▪  Front  ▪  Back  ▪  Left  ▪  Right

ViewVector — camera position and orientation in graphics coordinates

ViewRange, ViewAngle — camera range of view and opening angle

ViewProjection — how to project the graphic onto the screen

ViewMatrix — explicit view transformation matrix

SphericalRegion — make a graphic rotatable without clipping

RotationAction — whether to refit or clip after interactive rotation

Simulated Lighting

Lighting — list of light sources

AmbientLight  ▪  DirectionalLight  ▪  PointLight  ▪  SpotLight

Specularity  ▪  Glow  ▪  VertexNormals  ▪  VertexColors

Clipping

ClipPlanes — list of planes that clip the graphic

ClipPlanesStyle — how to display the clip planes

Box & Axes

Boxed — whether to show the bounding box

BoxRatios — the shape of the bounding box

BoxStyle  ▪  Axes  ▪  AxesEdge  ▪  AxesStyle  ▪  FaceGrids  ▪  FaceGridsStyle

FrameStyle  ▪  FrameTicksStyle  ▪  GridLinesStyle  ▪  TicksStyle  ▪  LabelStyle
