Mesh Page (3D Plot Properties Dialog Box)

Requires: Full Development System

Use this page of the 3D Plot Properties dialog box to specify the appearance of the 3D Mesh graph.

This page includes the following components:

• Plot List—Lists the plots you can configure. Edit the list item text to update the plot name.
• Add—Adds a plot to the Plot List.
• Delete—Deletes the plot you select from the Plot List.
• Up—Moves a plot up the list.
• Down—Moves a plot down the list.
• General—Select from the following components to specify the general appearance of the 3D graph:
  • Plot opacity(%)—Specifies the level of opacity of the color you apply to the plot. Opacity ranges from 0 to 100, where 100 is completely opaque.
  • Coordinate system—Configures the coordinate system on which to display the 3D plot.
    • Cartesian—Displays the graph on Cartesian plane lines.
    • Cylindrical—Displays the graph on the cylindrical coordinate plane.
    • Spherical—Displays the graph on the spherical coordinate plane.
• Projection—Select from the following components to specify the projection appearance on the 3D graph:
  • X-Y plane projection—Displays the plot projection on the X-Y plane.
  • X-Z plane projection—Displays the plot projection on the X-Z plane.
  • Y-Z plane projection—Displays the plot projection on the Y-Z plane.
• Color Ramp—Select from the following component to specify the color ramp appearance on the 3D Mesh graph:
  • Color map style—Sets the color map for the mesh line. You also can use the Plot Specific:Mesh:Mesh Color Ramp property to set the color map programmatically.
    • None—Sets no style for the color ramp. Choose this option if you want the graph to be one color.
    • Shaded—Sets the style of the color on the color ramp to go from light to dark.
    • Color spectrum—Sets the style of the color ramp to be the colors in the color spectrum.
    • Grey scale—Sets the style of the color ramp to a grey scale.
    • Custom—Sets the style of the color ramp based on the style you configure in the Color Ramp Editor.
  • Edit—Displays the Color Ramp Editor so you can modify the color ramp.
• Mesh—Select from the following components to specify the appearance of the 3D Mesh graph:
  • Mesh mode—Sets the display mode to show a different mesh. You also can use the Plot Specific:Mesh:Mesh Mode property to set the mode programmatically.
    • Lines—Displays the graph with the lines from the axes behind the graph.
    • Slices—Displays the graph with chromatic slices on the X-Y plane.
    • With Zero Plane—Displays the graph with the data below the points that meet at the x- and y- axis.
  • Line style—Specifies the style of the mesh lines.
  • Line width—Specifies the width of the mesh lines.
  • Anti-aliasing—Uses anti-aliasing to show the mesh lines.
• Surface—Select the following component to specify the surface appearance of the 3D Mesh graph:
  • Fill color—Sets the fill color of the mesh. You also can use the Plot Specific:Mesh:Fill Color property to set the fill color programmatically.
