The parallelepiped command creates a three-dimensional plot data object, which when displayed is a parallelepiped positioned at p, having edges given by the vectors u, v, and w.

The plot data object produced by the parallelpiped command can be used in a PLOT3D data structure, or displayed using the plots:-display command.

Remaining arguments are interpreted as options, which are specified as equations of the form option = value. For more information, see plottools and plot3d/option.
