Wolfram: Opacity (Transparency)

Opacity

Make the surface transparent.

Opacity is a Graphics Directive

for plotting functions e.g. Plot3D, you can add it by using PlotStyle

• Opacity

Example

ParametricPlot3D[
{Cos[u]*(2 + Cos[v]), Sin[u]*(2 + Cos[v]), Sin[v]} ,
{u, 0, 5},
{v, 0, 6},
SphericalRegion -> True,
PlotStyle -> Directive[White, Opacity[0.7]],
Lighting -> DirectionalLight[White, ImageScaled[{1, 1, 1}]],
BoundaryStyle -> Directive[Blue, Thick]
]
