Calling Sequence
|
|
parallelepiped(u, v, w, p, options)
|
|
|

|
-
|
three 3-D vectors (in list form)
|
|
p
|
-
|

Description
|
|
|
•
|
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/options.
