Surface: Marker/Edges

Marker Properties

Edge Properties

Marker Properties

• Style - Select the type of marker from the list. (Marker)
• Size - Size of marker in points (1 point = 1/72 inch). (MarkerSize)
• Edge color - The color of the marker or the edge of the maker for filled markers. (MarkerEdgeColor)
• A color name or RGB color specification.
• No color (none) - Filled marker edges are not drawn. Nonfilled markers are not drawn.
• Inherited (auto) - Uses the same color as the surface edge color (see Mesh Properties).
• Faceted CData (flat) - Each edge is a single, solid color determined by the vertex color.
• Face color - The fill color for markers that are closed shapes (circle, square, dot, diamond, pentagram, hexagram, and the four triangles). (MarkerFaceColor)
• A color name or RGB color specification.
• No color (none) - Filled marker faces are not drawn. Nonfilled markers are not affected.
• Inherited (auto) - Face color is set to axes background color.
• Faceted CData (flat) - Each marker face is a single, solid color determined by the vertex color.

Edge Properties

• Line style - Select the style of the lines for the edges of the surface faces. (LineStyle)
• Line width - Width of the lines used to draw the edges of the surface faces.
• Color - Coloring of the lines used to draw the edges of the surface faces (i.e., the mesh lines). (EdgeColor)
• A color name or RGB color specification.
• No color (none) - Edge lines are not drawn.
• Faceted CData (flat) - Each line is a single, solid color.
• Blended CData (interp) - Interpolation of the vertex color values determines the color of each face.
• Mesh style - Display mesh lines along rows or columns of data matrix. (MeshStyle)
• Row lines only (row) - Draw edge lines parallel to x-axis (i.e., along the rows of the surface ZData matrix).
• Column lines only (column) - Draw edge lines parallel to y-axis (i.e., along the column of the surface ZData matrix).
• Lighting - Specify method for lighting surface edges. (EdgeLighting)
• No shading (none) - Lights do not affect the edges of the surface.
• Faceted (flat) - The lighting effect is uniform across each face edge.
• Rounded (gouraud) - Linear interpolation of edge lighting calculated at vertices.
• Smoother rounded (phong) - Interpolate vertex normals across face edge. Produces smoothest results and uses Zbuffer renderer.
• Alpha - Transparency of edge lines. Numeric value between 0 and 1 or a mapping from alpha data. (EdgeAlpha)
• Opaque (1.0) - No transparency.
• Transparent (0.5) - All surface edges are translucent. Half way between opaque and clear.
• Clear (0.0) - Surface edges are completely clear and invisible.
• Faceted AlphaData (flat) - Each face edge has a single alpha value determined by AlphaData. Requires AlphaData matrix, see Alpha panel.
• Blended AlphaData (interp) - Alpha values are determined by interpolating vertex AlphaData across the face. Requires AlphaData matrix, see Alpha tab.
