I have a customer that is currently using an ActiveX Container to gain functionality for a CWGraph3D function and was mentioning that there have been some improvements to the 3D graphing options within LabVIEW.
The inputs for options such as 3D Surface, 3D Contour, and 3D Mesh still lack the ability to have all vector inputs. They can either have all matrix inputs or X and Ys as vectors and Z values as a matrix. Basically the end result apparently needs to be square/rectangle image when looking down the Z axis. The customer would like to have 'vectors' as inputs so that the output can be an irregular shape. LabVIEW can do this with a 3D Scatter plot, but not these other plots. The added functionality would be to add a 'triangulated irregular network' through a set of irregular points so that surfaces, meshes, and contours can be interpolated and overlaid on top of these points.
The customer would also like to see a functionality where you could create 3D volumes in LabVIEW instead of just 3D surfaces.
