3D graphical representation

[Cory_K]

Before I dive into a new piece of code, I would like to ask the advice of some grumpy old men 

I would like to make a 3D intensity plot... I think that is the best way to describe it.

We will have a cube with a matrix of thermocouples throughout various locations.

I've gotten as far as getting all of the temperature values into a single array.

I need some advice from here.

Should I create a 4x4x4 array (if such a thing exists... I have no experience with anything beyond 2D)?

Also, what type of plot/graph/chart would you recommend?

Thanks!

Re-reading over my last post, it may not be that clear what I would like to do.

Here is a more thorough explination.

I would like to set up a plot in 3D.

I will have 16 x,y pairs, where the x will be the location of the point in the format

(x,y,z)

and the y will be the temperature.

So on the plot at the location (x,y,z) I would like the color to reflect the magnitude of the temperature

the same way it would on an intensity plot. The only difference would be that this is in 3D.

I hope that cleared up the problem a little bit.

Edit: I should also work on my math haha. It will not be 4x4x4. It will be 2x2x4

Take a look at my 3d car code. It should get you started.

Post back after you have played with it if you still have questions.

Success! Thanks a lot Ben!
