3-D Visualization

This section discusses visualization techniques and illustrates the application of these techniques to specific types of data.

Creating 3-D Graphs	3-D line and surface graphs
Defining the View	Control camera, zooming, projection, compose a scene, control the aspect ratio of the axes
Lighting as a Visualization Tool	Lighting effects you can employ to add realism and improve shape definition in 3-D views
Transparency	Various techniques for making objects translucent
Creating 3-D Models with Patches	Define 3-D shell representations of physical shapes using patch objects
Volume Visualization Techniques	Visualize gridded 3-D volume data (both scalar and vector)
