For questions specific to the Graphics3D command and related 3D graphics functionality.
The tag graphics3d is about constructing 3D graphics from 3D primitives. The Graphics3D
command is the 3D analog to the 2D Graphics
command. It can contain a list of 3D-specific graphics primitives (e.g. Sphere
, Cuboid
, Cylinder
, Tube
or PolyhedronData
), as well as more general primitives like Line
s, Point
s and Text
and directives such as Red
or Opacity
.
Various plotting functions such as Plot3D
and ParametricPlot3D
generate Graphics3D
expressions as their output. There are a number of options specific to 3D graphics relating to viewpoints and positioning, including ViewPoint
, ViewRange
and ViewVector
.
Questions about plotting functions or data in 3D should use the tag plotting instead. Questions about 2D graphics should use the tag graphics.
