DensityPlot3D

DensityPlot3D[f,{x,xmin,xmax},{y,ymin,ymax},{z,zmin,zmax}]

makes a density plot of f as a function of x, y, and z.

DensityPlot3D[f,{x,y,z}reg]

takes the variables to be in the geometric region reg.

Basic Examples  (3)

Plot a 3D function:

Plot a function over a ball:

Use a different color scheme and legend:

Scope  (13)

Sampling  (6)

Areas where the function becomes nonreal are excluded:

Use PlotPoints to control sampling:

The domain may be specified by a region including Cone:

A formula region including ImplicitRegion:

A mesh-based region including BoundaryMeshRegion:

Use PlotRange to limit ranges to expose more detail:

Use ClipPlanes to specify one or several clipping planes. In this case, clip :

Use RegionFunction to constrain point inclusion more generally:

Presentation  (7)

Use PlotTheme to immediately get overall styling:

Use PlotLegends to get a color bar for the different values:

Control the display of axes with Axes:

Label axes using AxesLabel and the whole plot using PlotLabel:

Color the plot by the function values with ColorFunction:

TargetUnits specifies which units to use in the visualization:

Use a log scale for the axis:

Reverse the axis so that values increase as they go down:

Options  (39)

BoxRatios  (2)

By default, the edges of the bounding box have the same length:

Use BoxRatios->Automatic to show the natural scale of the 3D coordinate values:

ClipPlanes  (3)

Use ClipPlanes to specify one or several clipping planes. In this case, clip :

Specify several clip planes, in this case clipping and :

Compare to the general RegionFunction:

ColorFunction  (1)

Color the function according to the x, y, z, or f values:

ColorFunctionScaling  (2)

Parameters to ColorFunction are normally scaled to be between 0 and 1:

Use unscaled density values by setting ColorFunctionScaling to False:

OpacityFunction  (6)

OpacityFunction is Automatic by default:

Turn off transparency with OpacityFunctionNone:

Make values in the intervals and more opaque:

Use a constant opacity Opacity[0.05]:

Use the same opacity function as the one used in Image3D:

Use a custom opacity function to specify the opacity for each density value:

OpacityFunctionScaling  (3)

By default, scaled values are used:

Use unscaled density values by setting OpacityFunctionScaling to False:

Specify an unscaled opacity interval:

PerformanceGoal  (2)

Generate a higher-quality plot:

Emphasize performance, possibly at the cost of quality:

PlotLegends  (2)

No legends are used by default:

Use PlotLegends->Automatic to show a legended plot:

PlotPoints  (2)

Use more points to get a smoother density:

Use 2 points in the direction, 4 in the direction, and 8 in the direction:

PlotRange  (3)

Show the density plot over the full , , range:

Use specific ranges to show more detail:

Show only function values between 0 and 1:

Equivalently, the full specification:

PlotTheme  (3)

Use a plot theme:

Option settings override theme settings, in this case removing face grids:

Compare different plot themes:

RegionFunction  (3)

Plot over a ball in , , and :

Show only areas where :

Regions do not have to be connected:

ScalingFunctions  (4)

By default, DensityPlot3D has linear scales in all directions:

Create a plot with a log-scaled axis:

Use ScalingFunctions to reverse the coordinate direction in the direction:

Use an scale defined by a function, specifying the function and its inverse:

TargetUnits  (2)

Axes and legends are labeled with the units specified by TargetUnits:

Units specified by Quantity are converted to those specified by TargetUnits:

WorkingPrecision  (1)

Evaluate functions using machine-precision arithmetic:
