CWGraph 3D

[Virtual]

I want to change the size of the contour line in a Graph 3D?

I didn't find the property in the activeX.

Is there a way to do it ?

Thanks

Right-click on the FP 3D control, then "CWGraph3D>Properties...>Plots>Contour>Customize...".
Of course, this works only on Contour plots.
The line width can also be accessed programmatically using property nodes.

I left this one for you CC.

It may be time for you to change your icon.

The frog icon made a lot of sense because of your interest in "bugs".

Maybe a nice image of those caves plotted in 3-space would be more good.

Thanks Ben !
I was suspecting such a thing since you were on the line...

The frog icon is of course related to my french status (I apologize...). I have some idea of a better icon, related to caving, but its eleboration takes more time than I thought. The 3D cave image is still under construction, but I'll show a bit of my project soon.

Happy New Wires !

Hello,

Hey....I was looking through these post and I saw you were both talking about CWgraph3d....Have either of you tried to use the application builder to build a self-executable 3-d plotter based on CWgraph3d? I was able to do this but you do not have the ability to change any of the graph properties when running from the self-executable....Any idea on how to fix this?

Thanks for your time and attention....

Excellent Q!

I must confess my ignorance.

I will share some thoughts.

1) This may be a devlopment time only utility! A quick test here shows that I can not bring up that dialog while a VI is running. If I can not do it while it is running, I can not expect it to work in an exe.

2) Try to chase down Kileen C from NI support (she contributes to this list occationally). She got involved in chasing down a bug I found in the 3-d charts. She may have a name or contact that could resolve this challenge.

I will be watching the response to the Q you posted in your other thread to see what I can learn.

Of course, in an exe, all the graph properties (axis management, color...) can still be accessed programmatically using the corresponding property nodes, but that's a lot of work if you want to re-create the functionnalities of the dev interface.

The 3D graph CWgraph3d is actually an ActiveX control originally written for ComponentWorks (hence the CW), which was the forerunner to MeasurementStudio. If you want the full functionality for the 3D graph, you will have to install it on the host machine. You can either do this manually, or have the Application Builder do it for you. You can add the .ocx file as a support file, create an installer, and set it to run a batch file to register it on the host machine.
