The 3D Plot menu

This menu is only active (visible) when a matrix is selected.

3D Wire Frame

Makes a 3D plot of the selected matrix using the "3D mesh" style.

3D Hidden Lines

Makes a 3D plot of the matrix using the "3D mesh" style with hidden lines.

3D Polygons

Makes a 3D plot of the matrix using the "3D polygons" style.

3D Wire Surface

Makes a 3D plot of the matrix using the "3D polygons" style with the mesh drawn.

Bars

Makes a 3D plot of the selected data column in the active table window (only one column allowed) using the "3D Bars" style.

Scatter

Makes a 3D plot of the selected data column in the active table window (only one column allowed) using the "3D Dots" style. The 3D point symbol style can be changed via the 3D Plots Settings dialog.

Contour+Color Fill

Makes a color map plot of the data in the active matrix window. The contour lines and the colormap settings may be changed by clicking on the plotting area. This will activate the Contour Options Dialog.

Countour Lines

Makes a contour plot of the data in the active matrix window. The contour lines and the colormap settings may be changed by clicking on the plotting area. This will activate the Contour Options Dialog.

Countour Lines - Color Mapped

Makes a contour lines plot of the data in the active matrix window, the colors of the contour lines being mapped to the Z scale. The contour lines and the colormap settings may be changed by clicking on the plotting area. This will activate the Contour Options Dialog.

Gray Scale Map

Makes a gray map plot of the data in the active matrix window. The contour lines and the colormap settings may be changed by clicking on the plotting area. This will activate the Contour Options Dialog.

Heat Map

Makes a heat map plot of the data in the active matrix window. This type of graph is similar to the contour plot with the following differences: the contour lines are not drawn, there are no minor ticks and a three color based map (blue, white, red) is used instead of the default Rainbow palette. The color map settings can be changed by double-clicking on the plotting area. This will activate the Colors tab of the Contour Options Dialog.
