TextureCoordinateFunction
is an option to Plot3D and similar functions that specifies a function that computes texture coordinates.
Details
- With TextureCoordinateFunction->func, the arguments supplied to the function are as follows:
-
ParametricPlot x, y, u, vRegionPlot x, yParametricPlot3D x, y, z, u or x, y, z, u, vRegionPlot3D x, y, zRevolutionPlot3D x, y, z, t, θ, rSphericalPlot3D x, y, z, θ, ϕ, r
- With the usual default setting TextureCoordinateScaling->True , all arguments supplied to func are scaled to lie in the range 0 to 1.
- With TextureCoordinateScaling->False , original unscaled values are used.
