How to modify a 3d surface plot projection

Hi.  I am trying to modify/customize a 3d surface plot and I'm stuck on how to do it.  Specifically, I want to make the plot in the attached image fill the white space in the upper and right side of the display (render) window.  The second image shows what I want the plot to look like.  Is it possible to do this?  Do I have to use 3D surface projections to achieve this type of plot or is there a simpler way to do it?

Some 3D plots will allow you to zoom, rotate, and pan depending on the type of plot as well as the version of LabVIEW. This document describes how to do it in LabVIEW 8.2, http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/DDD164744CEBD15886256F3C00671246. You can do it programatically with property nodes as well as with the mouse.

 

I just tried it in LabVIEW 2012 on my machine and it wouldn't let me pan. In my version of LabVIEW, the center of the graph is automatically centered in the window, so that there is always a little bit of white space in the sides. I looked it up in the properties of the graph and the ViewXCenter property was not an option. It's possible that this feature was eliminated in the newer versions of LabVIEW.

 

I'm sorry but that is the best answer that I can give you right now. Try doing it on your machine to see if your graph has the ability to pan.
