Plot3D(expression, ...)
Plots 3D function graphs. This function can also have many additional parameters which are entered in the form of parameter=value.

The following parameters can be set to a single value or a list of values for multiple plots.
See examples below.

colors
Sets the colors of the plot. This can be a list of up to 4 colors or a list of up to 6 colors if the gradient parameter is set to height. See example below.

points
Sets the size of the points.

pointColor
Sets the color of the points.

lines
Sets the size of the lines.

lineColor
Sets the color of the lines.

solid
Sets whether to use solid shading. This takes a value of 0 or 1.

gradient
Sets how to color the graph.
height colors the plot based on the height of the points.

The following parameters are used for the graph and can only be set to a single value.

backgroundColor
Sets the background color of the graph.

axisColorX
Sets the x-axis color of the graph.

axisColorY
Sets the y-axis color of the graph.

axisColorZ
Sets the z-axis color of the graph.

axisColor
Sets all axis colors of the graph.

shade
This can take smooth for smooth shading or flat for flat shading. The default value is smooth.

timeStart
The initial value of the time variable. The default value is 0.

timeStep
The step value of the time variable. The default value is 0.1.

Parameters for colors can be set in three different ways.

1) Value between 0 and 1 will create a gray color. For example, color=0.5 will set the color to gray.

2) A list of three values that represent red, green and blue. For example, color=[1,0,0] will set the color to red.

3) Use a named color value. Available named colors are blue, green, yellow, orange, red, magenta, white, gray, black, skyBlue, lightGray, navyBlue, darkGreen, gold, orangeRed, darkRed, purple, deepSkyBlue, brown, darkGray, lightBlue, lightGreen, khaki, coral, chestnut, olive, beige and pink.

Examples

Plot3D(cos(x)+sin(y), colors=[yellow, red])

Plot3D(cos(x)+sin(y), gradient=height, axis=0, colors=[blue, green, yellow, red])

r=sqrt(x^2+y^2) Plot3D(sin(x^2+3y^2)/(0.1+r^2)+(x^2+5y^2)*exp(1-r^2)/2, gradient=height, colors=[red, yellow, green, skyBlue, blue], backgroundColor=black, x=[-3, 3], y=[-3, 3], z=[-3, 3], axis=0)

Plot3D(sqrt(abs(x*y)), -sqrt(abs(x*y)), colors=[[red, yellow], [blue, green]])
