Plots a surface in terms of x, y, and z points. This VI has two 1D arrays and one 2D array that specify each point on the plot.

Note This VI appears on the block diagram when you add a 3D Surface Graph to the front panel. You can find the 3D Surface Graph on the 3D Graph palette.

Inputs/Outputs

  • c2ddbl.png color matrix —

    color matrix maps each point in the z matrix to a color index on the color ramp. By default, the values of the z matrix are used as the index.

  • c1dBase_Datatypelvclass.png plots in —

    plots in is a reference to the class that stores the data of the 3D plot. This input allows you to wire multiple plots.

  • c1ddbl.png x vector —

    x vector is a 1D array that specifies the x-coordinates of the points on the plot.

  • c1ddbl.png y vector —

    y vector is a 1D array that specifies the y-coordinates of the points on the plot.

  • c2ddbl.png z matrix —

    z matrix is a 2D array that specifies the z-coordinates of the points on the plot. The x and y vectors shift the set of data in the z matrix.

  • ci32.png plot ID —

    plot ID specifies the index of the plot you want to graph.

  • i1dBase_Datatypelvclass.png plots out —

    plots out is the graph of the 3D plot.
