Adds a surface to the current scene. The surface is defined by a matrix defining the height of each grid point and two vectors defining the grid.

Adds a surface mesh to the current scene. The surface is defined by
the matrix of height values in z
, with rows corresponding
to the values in x
and columns corresponding to the values in
y
. This is the same parametrization as used in persp
.
If the x
or y
argument is a matrix, then it must be of the same
dimension as z
, and the values in the matrix will be used for the corresponding
coordinates. This is used to plot shapes such as cylinders
where z is not a function of x and y.
If the normals are not supplied, they will be calculated automatically based on neighbouring points.
surface3d
always draws the surface with the ‘front’ upwards
(i.e. towards higher z
values). This can be used to render
the top and bottom differently; see rgl.material
and
the example below.
For more flexibility in defining the surface, use rgl.surface
.
surface3d
and terrain3d
are synonyms.
rgl.material
, rgl.surface
.
See persp3d
for a higher level interface.
