It should be displayed either as a colorgram or greyscale plot, controlled by the users. But currently it seems like I just can stop running the program and then manually right click the display area, select the 3D plot properties to change ... How can I realize this by programming? Thanks. <BR /> Tue, 02 Mar 2004 14:17:51 GMT https://ni.lithium.com/t5/LabVIEW/How-to-programmably-control-the-3D-plot-switching-from-greyscale/m-p/121485#M73183 BLpig 2004-03-02T14:17:51Z https://ni.lithium.com/t5/LabVIEW/How-to-programmably-control-the-3D-plot-switching-from-greyscale/m-p/121486#M73184 Hi BLpig,<BR /><BR />Hope this example will help you!<BR />It's made in Labview 7.0! <BR /> Tue, 02 Mar 2004 16:18:33 GMT https://ni.lithium.com/t5/LabVIEW/How-to-programmably-control-the-3D-plot-switching-from-greyscale/m-p/121486#M73184 BJK 2004-03-02T16:18:33Z https://ni.lithium.com/t5/LabVIEW/How-to-programmably-control-the-3D-plot-switching-from-greyscale/m-p/121487#M73185 hi, thank you so much! It works for me.<BR />But one more step is, I also need to change the colormap or the colorvalues property as well (do they need to specify together?) since like for greyscale, I want to have my 0 value mapping to white and 3.5 value mapping to black. I think maybe I can work this out with the CWPlot3D.ColorMapColors and ColorMapValues ... but haven't figure out how to do it.<BR /><BR />How to do this? <BR /> Tue, 02 Mar 2004 17:54:49 GMT https://ni.lithium.com/t5/LabVIEW/How-to-programmably-control-the-3D-plot-switching-from-greyscale/m-p/121487#M73185 BLpig 2004-03-02T17:54:49Z https://ni.lithium.com/t5/LabVIEW/How-to-programmably-control-the-3D-plot-switching-from-greyscale/m-p/121488#M73186 Hi BLpig,<BR /><BR />I changed the example so it is possible to change the colors and values during runtime.<BR />Some explanation is in the example!<BR /><BR />Hope this will solve your problem! <BR /> Tue, 02 Mar 2004 19:30:37 GMT https://ni.lithium.com/t5/LabVIEW/How-to-programmably-control-the-3D-plot-switching-from-greyscale/m-p/121488#M73186 BJK 2004-03-02T19:30:37Z https://ni.lithium.com/t5/LabVIEW/How-to-programmably-control-the-3D-plot-switching-from-greyscale/m-p/121489#M73187 hi, it works perfect for me now.
