Non-activeX 3d surface graph color table

Hi DonRoth,

 

To modify the color by VI server, you need to set the Active Plot to the plot you want to change (same ID as the helper VI beside the control terminal). The ramp array and ramp index are in the same length. The ramp index is the ending pixel of the corresponding color in the ramp array. The index should be in ascending order and its max value ends at 255.

I just got my hands on the 2011 graphs and have been playing around a bit.  There are a few things I'm unhappy with (I'm going to start a new thread for my grievances), however since this thread is about the colors this question is fitting enough here I think.

 

Can I ask why the implementation uses the Color Table property instead of Marker Values[]?  I created an XControl around the ActiveX with a color scale and I used an intensity graph and leveraged the Marker Values property to do so.  It's far more intuitive to say what values you want the color at than to say what pixel on the scale you want the color to be.  Is this also why the new graphs don't have an Autoscale color option?  (Also in my list of grievances)
