hidden (MATLAB Functions)

MATLAB Function Reference

hidden

Remove hidden lines from a mesh plot

Syntax

```
hidden on
hidden off
hidden
```

Description

Hidden line removal draws only those lines that are not obscured by other objects in the field of view.

hidden on turns on hidden line removal for the current graph so lines in the back of a mesh are hidden by those in front. This is the default behavior.

hidden off turns off hidden line removal for the current graph.

hidden toggles the hidden line removal state.

Algorithm

hidden on sets the FaceColor property of a surface graphics object to the background Color of the axes (or of the figure if axes Color is none).

Examples

Set hidden line removal off and on while displaying the peaks function.

```
mesh(peaks)
hidden off
hidden on
```
