3D Comet Plot Helper VI

Requires: Full Development System

Creates an animated graph with a circle that follows the data points. Multiple references to this VI generate multiple plots for the same graph.

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

Vector

	3D Plot lvclass Array in is a reference to the class that stores the data of the 3D plot.
	x vector is a 1D array that specifies the x-coordinates that graph the plot.
	y vector is a 1D array that specifies the y-coordinates that graph the plot.
	error in describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. This input provides standard error in functionality.
	z vector is a 1D array that specifies the z-coordinates that graph the plot.
	Plot ID specifies the index of the plot you want to graph. When you graph more than one plot, select the drop-down listbox under the color spectrum to the right of the graph to change the plot.
	3D Plot lvclass Array out is the graph of the 3D plot.
	error out contains error information. This output provides standard error out functionality.

Matrix

	3D Plot lvclass Array in is a reference to the class that stores the data of the 3D plot.
	x vector is a 1D array that specifies the x-coordinates that graph the plot.
	y vector is a 1D array that specifies the y-coordinates that graph the plot.
	error in describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. This input provides standard error in functionality.
	z matrix is a 2D array that specifies the z-coordinates that graph the plot. Each row of the z matrix generates a single trajectory.
	Plot ID specifies the index of the plot you want to graph. When you graph more than one plot, select the drop-down listbox under the color spectrum to the right of the graph to change the plot.
	3D Plot lvclass Array out is the graph of the 3D plot.
	error out contains error information. This output provides standard error out functionality.
