Adjusts various properties of the plot, including the transparency, plot style, and coordinate system.

Examples

	3D graph accepts the reference to the 3D control.
	plot style changes the way the data is plotted. The default is a surface plot.
	fast draw determines if the surface is redrawn while it is rotated and zoomed or if it is displayed as points of data.
	transparency is a value from 0 to 100 that changes the transparency of the plot.
	error in describes error conditions that occur before this VI or function runs. The default is no error. If an error occurred before this VI or function runs, the VI or function passes the error in value to error out. This VI or function runs normally only if no error occurred before this VI or function runs. If an error occurs while this VI or function runs, it runs normally and sets its own error status in error out. Use the Simple Error Handler or General Error Handler VIs to display the description of the error code. Use error in and error out to check errors and to specify execution order by wiring error out from one node to error in of the next node. status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred before this VI or function ran or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred before this VI or function ran. The default is FALSE. code is the error or warning code. The default is 0. If status is TRUE, code is a nonzero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code. source specifies the origin of the error or warning and is, in most cases, the name of the VI or function that produced the error or warning. The default is an empty string.
	coordinate system can be cwCartesian, cwCylindrical, or cwSpherical. The default is cwCartesian.
	plot number is the index into the list of plots from the properties of the 3D control. Add new plots by right-clicking the control and adjusting the properties. The default is the first plot from the list.
	3D graph out passes the reference to the 3D control out so that you can use it with other VIs.
	error out contains error information. If error in indicates that an error occurred before this VI or function ran, error out contains the same error information. Otherwise, it describes the error status that this VI or function produces. Right-click the error out front panel indicator and select Explain Error from the shortcut menu for more information about the error. status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred. code is the error or warning code. If status is TRUE, code is a nonzero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code. source describes the origin of the error or warning and is, in most cases, the name of the VI or function that produced the error or warning.
