Best Method for creating 3D plot

[aml1138@yahoo.com]

Hi,

We are currently using OpenGL 3D library for creating 3D plots.  This has issues when plotting discontinuous data.  What is the best way to plot an array of data that had sections that you don't want to display?

That is, if I scan in data that is an X by Y with Z height, but the array contains invalid Z points, how do I not graph the Z for the invalid x-y points?

Which library should I be using to do 3D plots? CW 3D Graph 6.0 or OpenGL 3D?

Thanks,

Andy

Hi,

Both the CW 3D Graph and the OpenGL graph will be able to display your array of data.  You will have to manipulate your data before sending it to the graph in order to exclude data points.  There are shipping examples that demonstrate how to use both types of graphs.  You can go to Help » Example Finder and search for "3D Graphs" to view those examples.
