Function Visualization

Long the standard for high-quality function and surface visualization, Mathematica incorporates a host of original numeric, symbolic, and geometric algorithms that automate the immediate creation of highly aesthetic and technically correct 2D and 3D visualizations.

Plot — curves of one or more functions

LogPlot ▪ LogLinearPlot ▪ LogLogPlot

Plot3D — 3D surfaces of one or more functions

ContourPlot — contour plot for a function or curve

ContourPlot3D — 3D contour plot for a function or surface

DensityPlot — density plot for a function

ParametricPlot — 2D parametric curves or regions

ParametricPlot3D — 3D parametric curves or surfaces

PolarPlot ▪ RevolutionPlot3D ▪ SphericalPlot3D

RegionPlot — 2D regions defined by inequalities

RegionPlot3D — 3D regions defined by inequalities
