Why my plots are flickering

[Nandha]

I tried to plot (actually drawing something) using 3D plots, but when i tried to connects two different plots my plots are flickering.

Actually i tried to change each color in each plot so my drawing would look correct.

Thanks

The reason the image is flickering is that the graph is constantly switching back and forth between displaying two different images. So you can see what I mean I modified your code to insert delays to make the effect more obvious. The graph (as you are drawing it) doesn't have any memory, it completely redraws the picture each time.

Actually, i could place all the drawing outside the loop and only connects the error wire to the loop to make it remember all the drawing,

But in my case, i would like to always change some value in the drawing, and with multiple plots, could you give me some hint for that?

Thanks

Try this...

I couldn't actually run your VI to verify the flickering because I
don't have one of the necessary subVIs, but it seems to me that a
probable reason could be the fact that you are building the array in
the while loop for every time you plot the surface. You could just
contain the graph portion of the VI in the while loop and the extra
time LabVIEW requires to build the array will no longer be an issue,
decreasing the flicker effect.

Regardless of what he did with the original code the graph would have flickered because the display was switching very rapidly between two different images.
