Plots a simple surface from z matrix. The x and y vectors cause the surface to shift in relation to the x and y planes. This VI accepts one 2D array and the two optional 1D arrays.

Inputs/Outputs

  • coarn.png 3D graph —

    3D graph accepts the reference to the 3D control.

  • c1ddbl.png x vector —

    x vector is a 1D array that describes the surface from z matrix in relation to the x plane.

  • c1ddbl.png y vector —

    y vector is a 1D array that describes the surface from the z matrix in relation to the y plane.

  • cerrcodeclst.png error in (no error) —

    error in describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. This input provides standard error in functionality.

  • c2ddbl.png z matrix —

    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.

  • ci32.png plot number (1) —

    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.

  • ioarn.png 3D graph out —

    3D graph out passes the reference to the 3D control out so that you can use it with other VIs.

  • ierrcodeclst.png error out —

    error out contains error information. This output provides standard error out functionality.

    • x vector and y vector correspond to the two indexes for the z matrix 2D array. If the number of elements in x vector does not match the width of z matrix in the first dimension, and the number of elements in y vector does not match the width of z matrix in the second dimension, both x vector and y vector are ignored.

    The values of x vector and y vector specify where the corresponding point in the z matrix should be located. The default values for x vector and y vector are 0, 1, 2, 3, and so on. The first point in z matrix (index 0,0) is located at (x vector[0], y vector[0]), or (0,0). If you change x vector to –1, 1, 2, 3, and so on, the first point in z matrix moves to (–1,0).
