how do you manipulate 3-D graphs programmatically

[mgarci48]

I have a 3-D graph with tha appropiate data...
the next part of my assignment is to be able to have the user specify the labels for the X, Y, Z axis, increment, and starting and ending value for each axis. I know this could be done under the properties of the 3-D graph, but I need to do it programatically.
THANK YOU FOR HELPING ME.....

Good evening!

There area a couple of approaches to this. If all you need is for the axes to reflect the data, you can enable the autoscaling, with either a loose fit or tight fit. (All the graph vi's have autoscaling available). If you need to change the label text, you can do this with the property node. Once you know how to work with property nodes, it's an easy matter to manipulate them with loops. (You can use a text ring incremented by the iteration terminal in a for or while loop, for example) You can also tell the graph to change the color of a plot via the property node, to give yourself a "4D" display.

Hope this is some help.

Good luck!

Using the 3d controls can be tough. Here is an example that will allow you to set information about the axes. It is normal to have to experiement when learning about the properties.
