ExtentElementFunction

ExtentElementFunction

ExtentElementFunction

is an option to DiscretePlot and DiscretePlot3D that gives a function to use to generate the primitives for rendering each extent element.

Details

ExtentElementFunction->f specifies that each extent element should be rendered with the graphics primitives given by f[region,point].
ExtentElementFunction->"name" uses a named function for generating extent elements.
In ExtentElementFunction->f, the region argument to f is given as follows:
DiscretePlot {{x_min,x_max},{y_min,y_max}}

DiscretePlot3D {{x_min,x_max},{y_min,y_max},{z_min,z_max}}
In ExtentElementFunction->f, the point argument to f is given as follows:
DiscretePlot {x,y}

DiscretePlot3D {x,y,z}
