Patch Edge Coloring

Each patch face has a bounding edge, which you can color as

• A single color for all edges
• A flat color defined by the color of the vertex that precedes the edge
• Interpolated colors determined by the two vertices that bound the edge

Note that patch edge colors can be flat or interpolated only when you specify a color for each vertex. For flat edge coloring, MATLAB uses the color of the vertex preceding the edge to determine the color of the edge. The order in which you specify the vertices establishes which vertex colors a particular edge.

The following examples illustrate patch edge coloring:
