Show

Show[graphics,options]

shows graphics with the specified options added.

Show[g₁,g₂,…]

shows several graphics combined.

Details

Show can be used with Graphics and Graphics3D.
Show allows any option that can be applied to graphics to be given.
Options explicitly specified in Show override those included in the graphics expression.
Show[g₁,g₂,…] or Show[{g₁,g₂,…}] concatenates the graphics primitives in the g_i, effectively overlaying the graphics.
The lists of non‐default options in the g_i are concatenated.
Show applies the function defined as the setting for DisplayFunction, and returns the result. For ordinary notebook operation, this function is just Identity.
