MeshCellStyle
is an option and annotation of MeshRegion , BoundaryMeshRegion , and related functions that specifies styles to use for mesh cells.
Details
- The following option settings can be used:
-
Automatic use automatic setting for styleNone render mesh cells with perfect transparencystyle use style for all mesh cells{cellspec1->style1,…} use stylei for mesh cell cellspeci
- Mesh cells with no explicit mesh cell style are taken to use the automatic style.
- The wrapper Style [cellspec,style] is equivalent to Annotation [cellspec,MeshCellStylestyle] and can be used when creating mesh regions in functions such as MeshRegion , BoundaryMeshRegion , etc.
- To specify multiple style directives, use Directive [style1,style2,…].
- The cell specification cellspec follows the standard form described for MeshRegion and BoundaryMeshRegion .
- Style and other specifications are effectively applied in the order MeshCellStyle , Style and other wrappers, and MeshCellShapeFunction , with later specifications overriding earlier ones.

Style all 2D cells transparent orange, 1D elements red, and 0D elements black:
Style all 2D cells transparent orange:
Individual cells can be styled using their cell index:
Or by the cell itself:
All can be used to specify all cells:
By default, all cells are styled:
Style all cells of a given dimension:
Specify a list of cell indices to style:
Style cells whose dimensions match a pattern:
Style cells whose indices match a pattern:
Style with graphics directives appropriate for the dimension of the components:

Style a polyhedron's faces by the number of vertices it has:
Gather the faces with different numbers of vertices:
