shading
function controls the color shading of Surface and Patch graphics objects.
shading flat
sets each mesh line segment, Surface face, or Patch face to a constant color determined by the color values at the end points of the segment, or the corners of the Surface face or Patch.
shading faceted
sets the shading to flat
with individual faces outlined in black. This is the default shading mode.
shading interp
varies the color in each line segment, Surface face, or Patch face by interpolating the colormap index or true color value across the face or line.
Compare a flat-shaded sphere with a Gouraud-shaded sphere:
colormap gray subplot(1,2,1) surf(peaks(10)); axis square shading flat title('Flat Shading') subplot(1,2,2) surf(peaks(10)); axis square shading interp title('Interpolated Shading')
shading
sets the EdgeColor
and FaceColor
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.
