3D parametric surface plot

[Kawshik]

Could some body please tell me

How to plot 3D parametric surface with spherical co-ordinate system (in the basic properties).

Hi Kawshik,

there is an example in LabVIEW, if you type "3d" in the Index search bar you will finde the "3d surface plot.vi".
Or do you have any more specific questions about this?

Hi, thanks for your response.  The example is only for 3D plot in cartesian co-ordinates and I fould it difficult to make it work for Spherical co-ordinates.  Could you please give an example with Spherical co-ordinates?  Thanks

You can change the working coordinate system by a property node.

To create one right click on the plot to display the system, select:
Create -> Property Node -> Plots -> Coordinate System.

(Or you just go to the menu when you right click the 3d graph on the frontpanel and

select "3d graph properties". You find the Option in the submenu "Plot")

You can find an example attached here. If you need it converted to another LV Version just tell me

Hi, the real problem is not changing the co-ordinate system in the basic properties.  I am already able to do this.  My question is, what kind of 2D arrays is needed to be connected for 3D graph with spherical co-ordinates (r, theta, phi).  Could you please give an example where you generated 2D array data for (r, theta, phi) and connect to the 3D graph plot.  Thank you.
