Owning Class: plots

Requires: MathScript RT Module

Syntax

plot3d(x, y, z)

plot3d(x, y, z, attributes)

plot3d(x, y, z, name1, value1, ..., nameN, valueN)

plot3d(x1, y1, z1, attributes1, x2, y2, z2, attributes2, ..., xN, yN, zN, attributesN)

obj = plot3d(x, y, z)

obj = plot3d(x, y, z, attributes)

obj = plot3d(x, y, z, name1, value1, ..., nameN, valueN)

obj = plot3d(x1, y1, z1, attributes1, x2, y2, z2, attributes2, ..., xN, yN, zN, attributesN)

Legacy Name: plot3

Description

Generates a 3D plot. If x, y, and z are real vectors of the same size, plot3d(x, y, z) plots a curve in space. If x, y, or z is complex, plot3d(x, y, z) plots a curve in space using real(x), real(y), and real(z). plot3d(x, y, z, attributes) plots the curves using the specified attributes. plot3d(x, y, z, name1, value1, ..., nameN, valueN) sets the line attributes according to the attribute names and values you specify.

Inputs

Name	Description
x	Specifies a vector or matrix you want to plot.
y	Specifies a vector or matrix you want to plot.
z	Specifies a vector or matrix you want to plot.
attributes	Specifies valid plot attributes. Order the plot attributes by color, point style, and line style. For example, 'bo-' specifies that the plot is blue, marks points with circles, and uses solid lines. attributes is a string that accepts a combination of the following values. 'b' Colors the plot blue. 'c' Colors the plot cyan. 'g' Colors the plot green. 'k' Colors the plot black. 'm' Colors the plot magenta. 'r' Colors the plot red. 'w' Colors the plot white. 'y' Colors the plot yellow. '.' Marks points with dots. 'o' Marks points with circles. 'x' Marks points with crosses. '+' Marks points with plus signs. '*' Marks points with asterisks. '-' Uses solid lines. ':' Uses dotted lines. '-.' Uses dashed and dotted lines. '--' Uses dashed lines.
name	Specifies the name of the attribute. name is a string.
value	Specifies the value of the attribute.

Outputs

Name	Description
obj	Returns the reference to the line object. obj is a reference to a line object.

Details

This function is not supported in the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine if you request an output from the function. Either do not request an output or remove this function from scripts before you build a stand-alone application or shared library.

Examples

X = [0:0.01:1];
