Does labview for linux support 3D graphs?

[deanabdu]

I have a vi that is created on labview for windows and it has a 3D graph; now i would like to switch to labview for linux. I would like to know whether labview for linux supports 3D graph. Also is it possible to convert the existing windows based vi to linux?

No, the 3D graph in LabVIEW is an Active X control and therefore a
Widnows only feature. If the graphics are not to complicated you may try
to look into drawing your own 3D graphs into a picture control which
would work on any LabVIEW platform. Other than that you would have to
rely on external packages to do 3D graphics under Linux.

One option is to use IDL, made by Research Systems, Inc. They are an NI
Alliance member. You can put their graphics into containers, and send data
to them via datasocket. Also, their 3D graphics are much better then
LabView's. -chris
