3D Plot Format Dialog Box (General Tab) |
Specifies the amount of rotation (in degrees) about the z-axis. Must be an integer between −360 and 360.
Rotation = 0
You look directly down the first column of the matrix. The first row points
right.
Rotation = 90
You look directly down the first row of the matrix. The first column points
left.
You can also rotate using the mouse.
Specifies the amount of rotation (in degrees) about the x-axis that is formed after rotating the graph. Must be an integer between 0 and 180.
You can also tilt using the mouse.
Specifies the amount of rotation (in degrees) around the z-axis that is formed after rotating and tilting the graph. Must be an integer between −360 and 360.
You can also twist using the mouse.
Specifies the amount to zoom in on the graph. The higher the zoom level, the closer you are to the plot. Must be between 0.0001 and 10000.
You can also zoom using the mouse.
Controls whether the axes appear at the front perimeter of the plot (perimeter), whether they intersect in the back left of the plot (corner), or whether they appear at all.
Forces the same scale for all axes.
Draws a rectangle around the entire graph. The box to the right specifies the color of the border.
Draws a box around the plot. The box to the right specifies the color of the border.
Changing the chosen display format requires the input matrix, function, or vectors to be appropriate for the new format in order to get a meaningful plot.
Surface - Converts the plot into a surface plot that shows a three-dimensional illustration of a matrix's level curves.
Converts the plot into a contour plot that shows a three-dimensional illustration of a matrix's level curves projected onto a backplane. Defaults to the x-y backplane. To project onto another backplane, use the drop-down list in the Contour Options on the Special tab.
Data Points/Scatter Plot - Converts the plot into unconnected points.
Bar Plot - Converts the plot into a 3D bar plot that shows a matrix as bars of varying heights.
Vector Field - Converts the plot into a vector field plot projected onto the x-y backplane.
Patch Plot - Draws level, unconnected patches at each data point.
