plot styles in 3dgraph

[franklyn diaz]

i am using 3dgraph object from componentworks version 1.0 i know how to create
a graph using the cartesian style, but i dont know to create a graph with
a cilindrical style . In cilindrical graph the elements are radius, angle,amplitude.
How is this cilindrical data passed to the 3dgrpah object. is x=raius, y=angle
and z=amplitide?. I get strange results and i am getting desperate.

The coordinates are actually x=angle, y=height(amplitude), and z=radius.
Thus you can think of radius = f(angle, height) like z = f(x,y).

Thanks.
but i am using plot3dsimplesurface and the matriz takes x as the row,y as
the column and z as the value in the matrix. so that means that the amplitude
is the column of the matrix. Do i have to use plot3dsurface giving three
vectors instead to plot the surface easily.

You can use Plot3DSimpleSurface if you want the x and y values to be {0, 1,
2, ...}. If you want the x and y values to be different you have to use
Plot3DSurface which takes an x vector, a y vector, and a z matrix.
