13.7.3 Surface Graph Colors and Axes

       

You can change the coloring of the surface by using the Data Set Options dialog box. Z Height shading colors higher points on the surface in warmer reddish tones while lower regions are given cooler bluish shades.

Directed-Light shading simulates how the surface would look if it were illuminated by a light. Surface regions that are facing away from the light will appear darker than those which are facing the light.

In addition to altering the appearance of the surface, you can also alter the appearance of the axes just as you did for line graphs.
