3D Stem Graph String-based Axes

[T16626]

When using 3D Stem Plots and real-world data, I successfully generate a 3D Graph. However, I was wondering if it is possible to customize the X and Y axis values with strings rather than numbers. I still want the Z-Axis to be a numerical intensity, but rather than having the X and Y values be an integer that I have to define in a note, I would like to make these values show strings.

My VI (attached) involves sample baseball batting/running statistics for each position (except pitcher).

Thanks in advanced,

If I understood you correctly, you are simply wanting to add labels to your graph.  The following link goes over customizing graphs:

Does that information answer your question?

Thanks Shane, but this isn't exactly what I was asking. Maybe I convoluted my question.

Imagine a 2 dimensional vertical bar graph.

The Y-Axis shows intensity, while the X-Axis is marked with what each bar refers to.

So let's say we're looking at a pizza parlor. They graph how many cheese, pepperoni, and sausage pizzas are sold on average per week.

Cheese---25 per week

Pepperoni---20 per week

Sausage---18 per week

so the X-Axis would have 3 tick marks, one designating each bar (cheese, pepperoni, and sausage) and the Y-Axis would be marked from 0 to 25, and the bars would reach 25, 20, and 18 units high respectively.

Here's a visualization of an ideal X-Axis (from Wikipedia's page "Bar Chart"): http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/35/Incarceration_Rates_Worldwide_ZP.svg

What I am looking to do is find a way to create these custom ticks on the X-Axis instead of writing off to the side:

"1 refers to cheese, 2 refers to pepperoni, and 3 refers to sausage"

Please note that my goal is to apply this concept to a 3-D graph, rather than a 2-D graph.

Hope this clarifies my question.

I am sorry for the confusion there.  I have put together a simple example that modifies the tick marks on a 3D graph.  I only modified one of the axis, but you should be able to expand upon this code for your particular application.

Does this better answer your question?

My code in the previous post was for LabVIEW 2013.   I have included here a LabVIEW 2011 version of the code.  If another version is needed, I will see if I can create one.
