graphical display

[leongchuan]

hi all
i am doing a simulation of a solar tracker system that consist of a light source and sensor
i intend to add in some simple graphical display of the system, which will move according to the simulated data.
is there any vis that allow me to do this?

The simple thing to do is to accumulate the directional variables and plot them in an XY graph (e.g. points at constant distance from origin). More advanced would be to use some of the 3D graph controls.

Hello leongchuan,

The following resources should be helpful in your application [links removed; articles no longer available]

Students Create Low-Cost, Energy-Saving Solar Tracker 

Photovoltaic (Solar) Cell Characterization 

This is a good example of graphically showing the results.
Model the Solar System 

Good luck with the development.

Regards,

hi
i want to implement the system using 2D graphic but not in xy graph
for example a sun that moves in 2D
is there any modules for this vis?

there is a xy graph plot under the picture control (same pallete as the normal plot/graph controls but at the bottom). The output is a picture.
