shading flat
shading faceted
shading interp
shading(axes_handle,...)
Theshading
function controls the color shading of surface and patch graphics objects.
shading flat
each mesh line segment and face has a constant color determined by the color value at the endpoint of the segment or the corner of the face that has the smallest index or indices.
shading faceted
flat shading with superimposed black mesh lines. This is the default shading mode.
shading interp
varies the color in each line segment and face by interpolating the colormap index or true color value across the line or face.
shading(axes_handle,...)
applies the shading type to the objects in the axes specified byaxes_handle
, instead of the current axes. Use single quotes when using a function form. For example:
shading(gca,'interp')
shading
sets theEdgeColor
andFaceColor
properties of all surface and patch graphics objects in the current axes.shading
sets the appropriate values, depending on whether the surface or patch objects represent meshes or solid surfaces.
