Shading

As of Version 6.0, Shading has been superseded by ColorFunction.

Shading

is an option for SurfaceGraphics that specifies whether the surfaces should be shaded.

Details

  • With Shading->False, the surface will be white all over. So long as Mesh->True, however, mesh lines will still be drawn.
  • When Shading->True, the actual shading used can either be determined by the height, or, when Lighting->True, from simulated illumination.
