Hi,
I am trying to determine if there is a 3D Bar Graph capability in CVI. I see that it is possible to create 3D surface plots and contour plots under the
AxtiveX libraries but I do not see one for 3D bar graphs. Is this possible?
I would like to basically create a 3 dimensional histogram whereby each 3d bar is equally spaced from it's neighbors, not continuous like a surface or mesh plot.
Thank you,
Phil Mulhall

Hello Phil,
As you mentioned, CVI provides a control for 3D graphs in the CWGraph 3D control. This control does not allow for 3D bar type graphs.
There is also the OpenGL instrument driver, but that does not seem to be able to create 3D bar graphs either. More information about the ActiveX control can be found here:

As for a 3D bar graph, I'm not aware of a way to do this. Sorry I could not be more help.
I'm aware that you have already had this answer via email, I am simply posting it here for other forum users who may have the same question.
Kind Regards,

Hi,
Why you do not pass the values to display to Excel, plot the graph, and thenretrieve this graph in your program.
