ListSurfacePlot3D
ListSurfacePlot3D[{{x1,y1,z1},{x2,y2,z2},…}]
plots a three-dimensional surface constructed to fit the specified points.
Details and Options
- ListSurfacePlot3D attempts to reconstruct smooth surfaces defined by sets of points.
- Surfaces generated by ListSurfacePlot3D can "fold over", and do not need to have a single
value for given 
and 
values. - The order in which
, 
, 
points are supplied to ListSurfacePlot3D does not affect the results. - ListSurfacePlot3D has the same options as Graphics3D, with the following additions and changes:
-
Axes True whether to draw axes BoundaryStyle Automatic how to draw boundary lines for surfaces BoxRatios Automatic bounding 3D box ratios ColorFunction Automatic how to determine the color of the surface ColorFunctionScaling True whether to scale arguments to ColorFunction MaxPlotPoints Automatic the maximum number of points to include Mesh Automatic how many mesh lines in each direction to draw MeshFunctions {#1&,#2&,#3&} how to determine the placement of mesh lines MeshShading None how to shade regions between mesh lines MeshStyle Automatic the style for mesh lines Method Automatic the method to use for interpolation and data reduction PerformanceGoal $PerformanceGoal aspects of performance to try to optimize PlotLegends None legends for surfaces PlotRange All the range of values to include PlotRangePadding Automatic how much to pad the range of values PlotStyle Automatic graphics directives to specify the style for the surface PlotTheme $PlotTheme overall theme for the plot RegionFunction (True&) how to determine whether a point should be included TextureCoordinateFunction Automatic how to determine texture coordinates TextureCoordinateScaling True whether to scale arguments to TextureCoordinateFunction - ListSurfacePlot3D yields a surface that fits the data provided, but may not necessarily contain the specific points defined by the data.
- The arguments supplied to functions in MeshFunctions and RegionFunction are x, y, and z. Functions in ColorFunction and TextureCoordinateFunction are by default supplied with scaled versions of these arguments.
- ListSurfacePlot3D returns Graphics3D[GraphicsComplex[data]].
