Function Visualization

Long the standard for high-quality function and surface visualization, the Wolfram Language incorporates a host of original numeric, symbolic, and geometric algorithms that automate the immediate creation of highly aesthetic and technically correct 2D and 3D visualizations.

(RefLink[Plot, paclet:ref/Plot]) — curves of one or more functions f(x)

(RefLink[Plot3D, paclet:ref/Plot3D]) — 3D surfaces of one or more functions f(x,y)

(RefLink[ContourPlot, paclet:ref/ContourPlot]) — contour plot for a function f(x,y) or curve f(x,y)=c

(RefLink[ContourPlot3D, paclet:ref/ContourPlot3D]) — 3D contour plot for a function f(x,y,z) or surface f(x,y,z)=c

(RefLink[SliceContourPlot3D, paclet:ref/SliceContourPlot3D]) — 2D contours over slice surfaces for a function f(x,y,z)

(RefLink[DensityPlot, paclet:ref/DensityPlot]) — density plot for a function f(x,y)

(RefLink[DensityPlot3D, paclet:ref/DensityPlot3D]) — density plot for a function f(x,y,z)

(RefLink[SliceDensityPlot3D, paclet:ref/SliceDensityPlot3D]) — density plots over slice surfaces for a function f(x,y,z)

(RefLink[ParametricPlot, paclet:ref/ParametricPlot]) — 2D parametric curves or regions

(RefLink[ParametricPlot3D, paclet:ref/ParametricPlot3D]) — 3D parametric curves or surfaces

(RefLink[ComplexPlot, paclet:ref/ComplexPlot]) — use color to plot the phase and magnitude of a function
