Plots a surface in terms of x, y, and z surfaces. The VI has three 2D array or matrix inputs that specify each of the x, y, and z planes.

Inputs/Outputs
![]() 3D graph accepts the reference to the 3D control. ![]() x matrix is a 2D array of data that determines the surface in relation to the x plane. ![]() y matrix is a 2D array of data that determines the surface in relation to the y plane. ![]() error in describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. This input provides standard error in functionality. ![]() z matrix is a 2D array of data that determines the surface in relation to the z plane. The x and y vectors shift or skew the set of data in the z matrix. ![]() plot number is the index into the list of plots from the properties of the 3D control. Add new plots by right-clicking the control and adjusting the properties. The default is the first plot from the list. ![]() 3D graph out passes the reference to the 3D control out so that you can use it with other VIs. ![]() error out contains error information. This output provides standard error out functionality. |
