In a plot,
the grid points
computed are connected by polynomial surfaces or curves, or are simply
displayed as points, depending on your choice of Style. The default
style is WireFrame, which is generated relatively quickly on the
screen. You may wish to switch to Patch, which takes much longer
but can be much prettier, for a final printed document.
- Patch connects the points by small patches of
polynomial surfaces and a wire frame grid.
- Patch [no grid] is the same as Patch but without
the grid.
- Patch & Contour adds level curves to the patches.
- Contours
is a set of level curves on a
transparent surface.
- WireFrame
is the default setting; it
connects the points by straight line segments on a transparent surface.
- Hidden Line
is the same as WireFrame, except that the surface is opaque.
- Points
displays only the computed points.
If you do not see all these choices in the dialog, use the up arrow and down
arrow to reach hidden choices.
