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:
