SkinStyle

As of Version 12.0, SkinStyle has been superseded by AnatomySkinStyle.

SkinStyle

is an option of AnatomyPlot3D that specifies what style to use for automatically included skin subparts.

Details

  • The setting for SkinStyle can be any graphics directive.
  • SkinStyle->None specifies that no skin should be automatically shown.
  • SkinStyle->Automatic specifies that the nearest skin subparts should be included and styled automatically.

Examples

Basic Examples  (3)

Automatically include the nearest skin subpart for an anatomical structure entity:

Wolfram Language code: AnatomyPlot3D[{Entity["AnatomicalStructure", "LeftFemur"]}, SkinStyle -> Automatic]

The default styling can be overridden:

Wolfram Language code: AnatomyPlot3D[{Red, Entity["AnatomicalStructure", "PituitaryGland"]}, SkinStyle -> Directive[Blue, Opacity[.3]], ViewPoint -> Left]

The default behavior is to not include any skin subparts:

Wolfram Language code: AnatomyPlot3D[{Entity["AnatomicalStructure", "LeftFemur"]}, SkinStyle -> None]

Scope  (1)

Multiple entities come with multiple associated default skin parts:

Wolfram Language code: AnatomyPlot3D[{Entity["AnatomicalStructure", "Heart"], Entity["AnatomicalStructure", "LeftHand"]}, SkinStyle -> Automatic]

Properties & Relations  (1)

The results of SkinStyle can be manually reproduced using explicit entities and directives in the first argument of AnatomyPlot3D:

Wolfram Language code: AnatomyPlot3D[{Entity["AnatomicalStructure", "LeftFemur"], Opacity[.3], Entity["AnatomicalStructure", "SkinOfLeftThigh"]}]
