Furthermore, you can animate agraph and shade it in a variety of ways for a clearer understanding of itsnature.Use the commands found in the plots package to display variousgraphs of functions and expressions. Some of the special plot types thatyou can create using these commands include contour, density, and logarithmicplots. The commands within the plottools package create andmanipulate objects. Such commands, for instance, allow you to translate,rotate, and even stellate a graphical entity.
