Plot options for three-dimensional plots in Maple

Plot options for three-dimensional plots in Maple

Although you can impose options on an existing three-dimensional plot by using the drop-down menus, you may want to declare options directly in the plot3d command. For example, try adding some of the following options to the command plot3d(x^2+y^2,x=-2..2,y=-2..2);.

     title="paraboloid",titlefont=[TIMES,ROMAN,24] 
     shading=Z 
     thickness=2 
     axes=BOXED 
     style=PATCHNOGRID 
     color=x*y 
     projection=FISHEYE 

For more information about options for three-dimensional plots, see the Maple help available from the command ?plot3d[option].
