FaceGridsStyle

FaceGridsStyle

is an option for 3D graphics functions that specifies how face grids should be rendered.

Details

  • FaceGridsStyle->style specifies that all face grid lines should be rendered by default with the specified style.
  • FaceGridsStyle->{xgrid,ygrid,zgrid} specifies that different grid directions should use different styles.
  • Styles can be specified using graphics directives such as Thick, Red, Dashed as well as Thickness, RGBColor, Dashing and combinations given by Directive.
  • Style specifications can refer to styles using style names from current stylesheets.
  • Any outside styles not explicitly overridden by settings in FaceGridsStyle will still be used.
  • Explicit styles specified in the setting for FaceGrids can override styles specified in FaceGridsStyle.
  • The default style of face grids is specified by the option DefaultFaceGridsStyle.

Basic Examples  (1)

Specify the overall style of face grids:

Wolfram Language code: Graphics3D[Cylinder[], FaceGrids -> All, FaceGridsStyle -> Directive[Orange, Dashed]]
Wolfram Language code: ParametricPlot3D[{v Cos[u], v Sin[u], v ^ 3}, {u, 0, 2Pi}, {v, -1, 1}, Mesh -> None, FaceGrids -> {{0, -1, 0}}, FaceGridsStyle -> Directive[Gray, Dotted]]

Scope  (1)

Specify the styles for grid lines in each direction:

Wolfram Language code: Graphics3D[Cylinder[], FaceGrids -> All, FaceGridsStyle -> {Red, Green, Blue}]

Properties & Relations  (1)

Individually styled face grids can be used with FaceGridsStyle, and have higher priority:

Wolfram Language code: Graphics3D[Cylinder[], FaceGrids -> {{{0, -1, 0}, {{{-1 / 2, Red}, {0, Green}, {1 / 2, Blue}}, {{-1 / 3, Thin}, {1 / 3, Dashed}}}}}, FaceGridsStyle -> Directive[Thick, Orange]]
