3D Plot Format Dialog Box (QuickPlot Data Tab)

Range

Defines the range limits over which the function will be plotted with Range 1 and Range 2 corresponding to the first and second independent variables respectively (x and y in Cartesian coordinates).

Start

Sets the lower limit to be plotted for the independent variable. The default start value is –5.

End

Sets the upper limit to be plotted for the independent variable. The default end value is 5.

Note: The ranges set for the independent variables do not necessarily control the axis limits of the plot, unless you are plotting a single function of two variables in the Cartesian coordinate system. In all other cases, the axis limits are determined by the x, y, and z data generated by the worksheet for your function(s).

# of Grids

Sets the number of grids, or points, generated for the given function and used to create the surface. The default is a 20 x 20 grid.

Coordinate System

Selects the coordinate system on which the plot is created.
