3d Surface plot in 2013 - Z axis range input or property node doesn't get updated on the graph

I point the problem to the ( 3D_Plot.lvclass.graph Update.vi).
Can someone confirm this?

This works for me. If this is not what you're doing, or if this does not work for you, please provide more details.

Customize X Axis range in Stacked Line Graph

I have built a stacked line graph. The values on x-axis range from 0 to 5,00,000. Howvever when the graph is displayed the maximum range that is shows is around 90,000-1,00,000. Is there a way to select specific values for X-Axis.
Thanks,
Mitiksha

Mike,
It works fine here. Does your current date display properly in the Table where the =NOW() formula is?
Have you tried stretching out your table to make more room for labels?

Get Axis range for 3D Ribbon Plot

When I plot something in a 3D Ribbon Plot with autoscale enable, the scale ranges (minimum and maximum) are automatically set in the proper way.
But after that, I can't read their values.
See the attached example: if I read Axis Range Maximum, I get 10 that is the value tha £D graph had before I plot the data.
Probably I'm missing something...

These controls are built by pure G code. So it has limitation if its sub-components control's property/event is not exported from VI server/event structure or XControl Framework does not support.
For the issue in this thread (range one), it can behave same as native XY Graph. For performance, do you mean it delays the interaction (rotate, click) or plot updates slow. I improved their performance somehow in LV2011. How big your input matrix is and what is the update frequency?

Well that is news to me.
I would like to invite you to post the CAR numbers so that we can track the bugs and fixes.
Simply posting those numbers will go a a long way toward changing my impression of the 3D graph issues. If you keep them secret we will be left to believe the issues are not being addressed, which has been the traditional viewpoint of users outside of NI. The Champions worked to change that attitude and to a large extent I feel the general outlook has been changing due to the public bug list that is no published for various LV versions.
The CAR numbers also give us a handle we can reach for when the apps we deliver to our customers screw up and we have to shrug our shoulders and tell them "When ever NI feels like it."

Maximum matrix size for surface plot?

Morning,
I've streamed data from an experiment to TDMS, and would like to display it in DIAdem. I have M channels of N data points and would like to display them in a surface plot.
Usually, I'd expect to do the following:
- Build a X axis (Generate Numeric Channel - N points at dX interval)
- Build a Y axis (Generate Numeric Channel - M points at dY interval)
- Build a Z matrix (Convert Matrix from X axis, Y axis and the M channels of N data points)
I can then plot the X Y Z triplets to a surface plot.
Alternatively, I can build the X and Y arrays and plot X Y Z in matrix mode. This has the added benefit of not forcing interpolation, which *always* crashes
Now the kicker. For my dataset, M = 192, N = 290 000 and I'm unable to plot more than the first 20% of the data in X. I suspect that Diadem's limited to displaying 2^16 in surface plots, but no error is returned. Does anyone know if this is the case?
I can decimate my data to fit the limit, but it's never nice to have to throw away data!
(For clarification, the data is a raster scan of a sensor over a surface. I could drop the sampling rate and/or increase the speed over the surface, but that's a secondary concern)
CLD

Actually, it's the creation of an intensity plot that I'm more interested in, for two reasons. I can split my data into smaller segments and then compare measured data against my CAD model, but it's also handy having the global intensity plot available for human overview. Amusingly, almost any way I try to split the data besides decimating means that the split between datasets will be in some region of interest, which makes it awkward for non programmatic review Meanwhile, the problem with decimation is that I have four channels of data for each of those slices: channels 1 and 2 are analogue signals and averaged to give one plot, channel three is another analogue voltage that is plotted in another, but channel four is a digital waveform with some pretty short pulse widths. Decimate too much and you'll barely see any meaningful data when plotted on an intensity plot for this.
My instinct before starting was that DIAdem would handle the large dataset better than LabVIEW, which it did if I only wanted to plot YT data. However, after changing tack and heading back to LabVIEW I found that it was able to churn through things a bit better.
I'm happy to send an email to describe what I'm doing in a bit more detail, as well as provide some of the resulting plots, as it's a sensitive project. Understandably, even if I could upload the data for someone else to work on, I'm not sure how much use 1.7 Gb of TDMS is to anyone else!

3D surface plot export _ missing scale on the projections

Hi all,
I am using 3D surface plot subvi in LabView 2010 SP1. After plotting the data, I can export the images (.bmp, mata file etc.). While exporting the projections of the images, I am not able to get the axis scales on them, though when I export the isometric view, I do have all the scales in the exported image.
Any clues.
Cheers,
Deepak Arora
LAB View 2010 SP1

Hi Daniel,
I am using surface plot helper to plot a 3D data set. On the front panel indicator of this, there is an option to export the image files in various formats, once you right click on the graph. I have attached two of the exported files. One is an isometric view and another one is the X-Y projection obtained by using the projection palette attached to the 3D surface plot. As you notice, the scale bars are missing from the projection.
Thanks,
Deepak

Plot values in X-Axis in 2D line graph

Hi,
I am using 2D line graph to plot graph but the graph is to be ploted based on date i.e i have a range to be ploted in X-Axis i.e Dates how to plot that please suggest now the values are automatically it is getting ploted

AND pro.id = epp.pro_id
AND epp.project_role_id = per.id )
group by pro.project_name,pobj.name,tas.name
order by pobj.name

Standard syntax on the Mac is Object, Action. The order is always Select an object (in this case, part of a spreadsheet), then perform an action on or with tat object (in this case, make a chart).
The same syntax applies to Copy or Cut (and to Paste, althyough it's not as obvious there—the object is whatever is currently on the Clipboard).
I don't think there is information on printing charts/graphs in the online help. A chart is a graphics object, and is printed as part of the document that contains it. Printing the spreadsheet should also print the chart, provided it is on a page that contains data (AppleWorks's default is to print only the rows and columns that contain data). If you want to print the chart without any of the data, drag the chart over the data to conceal it, and choose the Print options that do not show column or row headers and the cell grid. (These are probably in the AppleWorks options in your Print dialogue, but their position will depend on your print driver.)
Placing the object (the chart) in another document provides an easier method of printing only the chart, and the method you used (dragging the chart from the spreadsheet to the second document is a common and acceptable one. Dragging an object from one document to another places a copy of the object on the second document, and leaves the original on the original document. This is true in general, not just for charts.
In the case of a chart, the copy is a static object, while the original maintains its live connection to the underlying spreadsheet—changing a graphed value in the spreadsheet will change the graph to match the new value, but will not affect the copy in the second document.

Barry

ScatterGraph does not allow manually editing axis range at runtime

I'm using both ScatterGraph and WaveFormGraph controls in a Winforms VS2010 application. I have the axis interaction mode set to EditRange. The WaveFormGraph control allows editing the axis range by clicking on the end labels for the axis and changing them. The ScatterGraph control does not even though the documentation that I have read indicates it should. The axis mode does not seem to be the issue as I have changed between Fixed and AutoScaleLoose (which is not the selection to have while displaying changing data if you want your manually-entered range to be maintained). I tried a new project with a ScatterGraph control with default settings and verified that it does not allow you to edit the axis range. Is there a way to change settings to allow you to manually edit a ScatterGraph range in this way at runtime?
Thank you!

Hi Lybro,
Have you enabled the "EditRange" InteractionMode of the scatter graph object? There are two places that the interaction mode is set, one for the axis and one for the scatter graph, both need to be enabled for the editing to work. I just tested this with Measurement Studio 2013 and it is working. Let me know if this helps.
Regards,
Kevin

3D surface plot

Hi,
I have a set of 3 vectors X, Y and Z, and I plotted them in a surface plot. There is a minimum in the surface plot, and i know this minimum, i just take the minimum of the Z-values. I would like to mark this point on the surface plot and also mark the coordinates with lines of this point. Also the lower regions of the plot are in black, because of the color spectrum, i'd like to change that aswell, so smurking up the plot a bit . I attached the vi and the data set. Also, could there be a better way to make a surface plot? If you put the z-range from 0 to 1000, you can see the minimum, but it's not very nice, not continuous.
Thanks,
KF_

Plotting two 3D surface plots error

I am ploting 2 3d surface plots separately. One plots ok, the 2nd is giving me an error - plot number is out of range. Both plots have the same plot number - (1). Both are plotting similar data. Why is is one failing?

Greetings, John!
I would first check the obvious things, like are you running out of memory? 3D charts can use a huge amount of it. Perhaps you can plot a couple of smaller data sets on your charts and see if you get the same error. You might also try a wiregrid format, instead of color, since color uses up a lot more memory.
Just a couple of hints.

How do you extend a chart's x-axis range?

Hello,
Is it possible to extend a chart's x-axis range to ten seconds, rather than the default five seconds?
I've attached a simplified portion of my code, which contains a DAQ Assistant connected to a chart. I've played around with the chart history length, sampling frequency, and sample numbers; however the chart's x-axis range remains a constant five seconds. I feel this is a relatively fundamental concept, but it eludes me.
Settings currently set to:
Sampling Frequency: 2k Hz
Samples Read: 200
Acquisition Mode: Continuous sampling
Chart Update Mode: Strip
Chart History Length: 1024
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thank you. I feel foolish as this was trivial:
For those who don't know:
Right-click the chart
Select X-Scale->Properties
Under the Scales tab, enter your time range in the minimum and maximum boxes.

3D Surface Plot Cursor Error

I can't seem to get the cursor(s) to function on the 3D Surface Plot. I right-click on the front panel plot, go to properties, and select cursor - but then I get an error and LabVIEW crashes. Has anybody had any sucess with this? I've tried it in both LabVIEW 6.1 and 7.1

Hi,
I have used the cursors in the 3D graph a couple of times with no problem. There are a couple of advices that I can give. Place the 3D graph strait form the pallet, do not create an ActiveX container and add the 3D graph. Open one of the 3D examples and see if you can add the cursors to a graph that was previously created. You can also try to unregister and reregister the ActiveX control for the 3D graph to make sure that the OS registers the control correctly. You can find the ActiveX control in the system32 folder (cw3dGraph.ocx) and here is a document on how to register the control.
I'm also including here an example that uses cur
sors, see if you can open it and run it. The second attachment is a style file for that 3D graph that includes a cursor. You can load this file by right-clicking on the graph and select "Import Style..". Hopefully you'll be able to load the style and start to work from there.
I hope this helps.
Let me know if you have any further questions.

Graph control causes general protection fault when changing axis range (64bit)

Hello,
i wrote a 32bit application which i'm porting to 64bit now and stumbled across a problem with the graph control.
The Graph axsis are set to editable so that the user can change the axis range manually at runtime. The 32bit version has no problem here, but the 64bit version is crashing with a general protection fault at the source line with RunUserInterface().
Is there a compiler option/value or something i should be aware of when swithing to 64bit that should be set?
Or is this just a problem with the code of the control?
I tried it with LabWindows v13.0.2 (278) and v13.0.1, running under Windows 7 64bit.
Thanks.

Hello, danouj!
Thank you for reporting this issue to us!
However, information you provided is still unsufficient for us to determine the background of this bug.
Please also provide the following details, so that we can identify the issue and investigate whether a workaround for this problem exists:
From my understanding, when porting the application to 64-bit, you also performed some code changes to your CVI application. What are these code changes?
If you run the 64-bit version of your application without these code changes, does the application also crash?
What is the address of this crash?
It would also be very useful, if you can send us a copy of a minimal snapshot of your project application, in which the problem still occurs, for us to investigate the issue.
You can upload the sources at ftp://ftp.natinst.com/incoming
Best regards,

Legend for a 3D Surface Plot

How can I create a legend for a 3D surface plot? I'm doing a xy-projection and the view direction is directly towards this plane. The plot style is a surface contour plot. I want to display next to the plot the legend in a separate bar where the different colours with each value are displayed. The value for each contour line shall be displayed in the legend.
Patrick

OK,
I remember that thread now. That was the one were you did not want to use interpolate colors and I did. Well I still like to interpolate colors but that presents another challenge when trying to produce a proper color ramp. Without resorting to using the picture control
http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=BreakPoint&message.id=14&jump=true
I decided to play with some of the built in objects.
All of the round objects like knobs and guages include a color ramp. This gave me a ramp but is not quite up to what you get with an intensity graph.
Since I could not get a ramp on any of the straight indicators like sliders etc, I hid most of an intensity graph and just use the Z-scale. It turns out that the same data structure can be used in the intesity graph as the guage.
Can anyone think of other ays of producing a proper color scale when intepolation is turned on?

How acess 2D mesh data from 3D surface plot ?

I have 3 vectors X, Y and Z, that I can plot using 3Dsurface graph and change the property node to Plot3DMesh. I want to get all the 2D Mesh data that LabVIEW generated to plot the surface. Is it possible ?

You might try the Property node of the 3D graph. You might have to decimate the array that you get from the Data property.
