ColorFunction

Usage

• ColorFunction is an option for graphics functions which specifies a function to apply to determine colors of elements.

Notes

• ColorFunction is an option for Plot3D, ListPlot3D, DensityPlot, ContourPlot, Raster and related functions.

• With the usual default setting ColorFunctionScaling -> True, the arguments supplied to f are scaled using PlotRange so as to lie in the range 0 to 1.

• With ColorFunctionScaling -> False original unscaled values are used.

• The function specified by ColorFunction must return a CMYKColor, GrayLevel, Hue or RGBColor directive.

• ColorFunction -> Automatic yields a range of gray levels.

• ColorFunction -> Hue yields a range of colors.

• In three-dimensional graphics, ColorFunction is used only with the option setting Lighting -> False.

• See Section 1.9.5, Section 1.9.5, Section 1.9.6, Section 2.10.2 and Section 2.10.7.

• See also: ColorFunctionScaling, Lighting, ColorOutput.
