VertexColors
is an option for graphics primitives which specifies the colors to assign to vertices.
Details
- VertexColors can be used with Polygon, Line, Tube, Point, and GraphicsComplex.
- VertexColors->{col1,col2,…} specifies that color coli should be assigned to vertex i.
- The interior of the polygon is colored by interpolating between the colors specified by VertexColors.
- In 3D, settings for VertexColors can include any surface or material property, to be used with simulated lighting.
- The colors coli for each vertex can be an explicit color directive such as GrayLevel[g] or RGBColor[r,g,b], or can have the following forms:
-
g GrayLevel[g] {g,a} GrayLevel[g,a] {r,g,b} RGBColor[r,g,b] {r,g,b,a} RGBColor[r,g,b,a]
