3D Parametric Surface VI

Owning Palette: 3D Graph Properties VIs

Requires: Base Development System (Windows)

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.

	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.
