how do I smooth out the graph?

[L_K]

Hi
I am using Component works version 1.1 with visual C++. I plot 3D data on CNiGraph3D control. My graph looks grainy. It looks like it's drawing a diamond at each plot point. So when the data between the adjacent points has a large delta, the color contrast between those 2 points is large. Is there a way to smooth/blend in the contrast?
Thank you

I would recommend upgrading to the current version of Measurement Studio ( previously known as ComponentWorks) and trying the same operation again. We have corrected several issues with the user interface controls and this might have been an issue that was fixed. You can download evaluation software by going here. We currently only support Measurement Studio 6.0 and higher.

Hope this helps

That sounds like a good idea. I was wondering how do I do if I just want to try installing the new version without removing the old version. I created a new directory and installed the new version on to it, but it didn't allow me to. I just don't want to mess up what I already have. By the way, the Measurement Studio need to be working with the GPIB port too because my program is sending/receiving data thru the GPIB.

I would recommend installing the evaluation version on another PC, other than the one used for development, just to be safe. You can only have one version of the activex controls per machine. So you cannot develop with the 1.1 version and 7.1 version of the ActiveX controls at the same time. This is due to the nature of activex controls.

Measurement Studio does not install any device drives. Since you are testing the upgrade, I would recommend you try your application with the newest version of the GPIB driver. I do not anticipate any breaking changes between the 1.1 and 7.1 versions of the CWGPIB control, but it would be a good thing to verfiy anyway.

I hope this helps.
