3D Ribbon Plot Helper VI

Requires: Full Development System

Generates a plot of parallel lines. Multiple references to this VI generate multiple plots for the same graph.

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

Standard

	3D Plot lvclass Array in is a reference to the class that stores the data of the 3D 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. A ribbon generates for each row in z matrix. If you do not wire the other inputs, LabVIEW graphs the number of elements for the x-axis based on the number of rows in z matrix and the number of elements for the y-axis based on the number of columns in z matrix.
	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.

Vector
