Presentation  (9)

Use PlotTheme to immediately get overall styling:

Use PlotLegends to get a color bar for the different values:

Control the display of axes with Axes :

Options  (61)

Axes  (3)

Axes are drawn by default:

Use Axes False to remove the axes:

Turn each axis on individually:

AxesLabel  (4)

No axes labels are drawn by default:

Label the axis:

Use specific labels for each axis:

Use labels based on variables specified in SliceDensityPlot3D :

AxesOrigin  (2)

The position of the axes is determined automatically:

Specify an explicit origin for the axes:

AxesStyle  (3)

Change the style for the axes:

Specify the style of each axis:

Use different styles for the ticks and the axes:

BoundaryStyle  (1)

Style the slice surface boundaries:

BoxRatios  (3)

By default, the edges of the bounding box have the same length:

Use BoxRatios Automatic to show the natural scale of the 3D coordinate values:

Use custom length ratios for each side of the bounding box:

ClippingStyle  (2)

Color clipped regions:

Remove clipped regions with None :

ColorFunction  (3)

Color the slice surfaces according to the density values :

Use a named color gradient available in ColorData :

Use red when :

ColorFunctionScaling  (2)

By default, scaled values are used:

Use ColorFunctionScaling False to get access to unscaled f values:

ImageSize  (7)

Use named sizes such as Tiny , Small , Medium and Large :

Specify the width of the plot:

Specify the height of the plot:

Allow the width and height to be up to a certain size:

Specify the width and height for a graphic, padding with space if necessary:

Setting AspectRatio Full will fill the available space:
