Polar 3d Plot

[sandy]

Hi..
I want to plot the lidar data in the real time as Intensity plot in the polar plot fashion. Searching an way to make the intensity plot in a Polar plot window. Is there any existing vi?

Here is a possiblity.

Maybe you could modify this vi to change color of the individual points.

Also, maybe the Graphics & Sound, Picture Functions, Draw Point, Draw Rect, Draw Circle could be used for each point and specifying color.

HI..
Thanks for that..But this exactly is not that , I want. I want to plot the scanning data as the attached picture. X axis is Height from the ground, Y axis is the Distance from the Instrument and Z is the value of the reflected signal.
Hope I could clearly describe my problem.

Have you got some sample data in CSV or text file format??

Hi..
Let me make the data more informative. Each profile (say 2000 data points (called range bin) with some arbitrary amplitude,) has an information of angle (elevation). The spatial resolution of the two data points is 5 m. So total range is of 10 km. Now each of this profile has an angle value which helps to calculate (Sin (angle)*range,like this for each range bin) the height for data points. Like this there are 1000 of profiles with an increase of an angle.
Hope this adds more information to my quest.

Can you create an image of the grid with no data at about 25% of the resolution of the last file?? That one was 4958x7017 pixels. I only have 1280x1024 monitor.  You could read this picture into the background and only write colored pixels into locations on top of it.

Hi..
Unclebump..
Hope this makes sense for you

Hello,
I want to make 3 different plane in polar plot. Is it possible to make 3 different plane for 3 different elevation angle? So my aim is to plot three different azimuthal plane for three different elevation angle...
How can I make it?
