The CrossProductPlot(u,v) command displays two 3-D Vectors u and v and their cross product $u\&xv$.

The opts argument can contain any of the Student plot options or any of the following equations that set plot options.

crossoptions =list(algebraic)

A list of options for the plot of the cross product u &x v. For more information on arrow plot options, see plots/arrow . [Default: solid arrow]

vectorcolors =[color, color, color]

A list of colors for u, v, and u &x v. For more information on plot color options, see plot/color .

vectoroptions =list(algebraic)

A list of options for the plot of the two vectors u and v. For more information on arrow plot options, see plots/arrow . [Default: solid arrow]

caption =anything

A caption for the plot.

The default caption is constructed from the parameters and the command options. caption = "" disables the default caption. For more information about specifying a caption, see plot/typesetting .
