Possible graphical visualization methods for 3D space

[Advanced Technology Associates]

I am trying to create a visualization for a scientific analysis computation.  What is required is creating objects represented in 3D space (ideal job for the 3D picture control) and then drawing vectors from these objects.  The vectors represent velocity deltas for spacecraft in orbit.  Each time the application is run the magnitude of the vectors will change.  Drawing objects is not something supported in the 3D picture control.  Does LabVIEW have inherint to it the ability to draw objects in 3D, such as vecotrs?  If not is there another implementation method that can be used.  An add-on package maybe?

Hi,

I do not think there is an inherent way to add vectors to the 3D picture control.  There may be some workarounds, but it would be helpful to have a little more information.  How are these vectors determined?  Do you want to draw them freehand or use known vectors and have them drawn programmatically?  I will play around with this some more and see if I can figure out something will help.

Can you post a little drawing of what you want to do.  We can pretty much draw anything with the use of the mesh class which allows you to define a surface or set of lines to draw.  I would be happy to help, but I am a bit unsure what you are trying to accomplish.
