3D Plot Format Dialog Box (QuickPlot Data Tab) |
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).
Sets the lower limit to be plotted for the independent variable. The default start value is 5.
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).
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.
Selects the coordinate system on which the plot is created.
The Cartesian system takes values for x and y as independent variables and calculates z as the dependent variable.
The Spherical system takes a value for r and the angle φ as independent variables and calculates the angle θ as the dependent variable.
The Cylindrical system takes a value for r and the angle φ as independent variables and calculates the value of z as the dependent variable.
