BoxStyle

BoxStyle

is an option for three-dimensional graphics functions that specifies how the bounding box should be rendered.

Details

Examples

open all close all

Basic Examples  (1)

Use dashed lines for the bounding box:

Wolfram Language code: Graphics3D[Cylinder[], BoxStyle -> Directive[Dashed]]

Scope  (1)

Styles associated with lines can be used, combined by Directive:

Wolfram Language code: Graphics3D[Cylinder[], BoxStyle -> Directive[Dashed, Orange, Thick]]

Properties & Relations  (3)

In 3D, the axes are drawn on the bounding box edges:

Wolfram Language code: Graphics3D[Cylinder[], Axes -> True]

Styles of the axes edges are not affected by BoxStyle:

Wolfram Language code: Graphics3D[Cylinder[], Axes -> True, BoxStyle -> Directive[Dashed, Orange]]

Styles of the axes edges can be specified by AxesStyle:

Wolfram Language code: Graphics3D[Cylinder[], Axes -> True, AxesStyle -> {Red, Green, Blue}, BoxStyle -> Directive[Dashed, Orange]]
