2D to 3D plot

[grahamwebb]

I have a chunk of code that plots points representing 3D vectors, some of which are connected with lines. The data for each point arrives in dozens of 3x1 arrays within a cluster (I just replaced them all with a constant in this attached file), and I switch between different views using the ring and array index values.

What is the easiest way to replace all of this with a single 3D plot?

Hello Graham,

I have built you a VI that takes the data as described in your forum post and plots it on a 3D graph. The project and VI’s I have created are in 2010 SP1, let me know if you require a previous version.

That's great Andy, thank you. I am using LV 2009.

Hi Graham,

Here you go mate!

Hi Andy,

I can see what you've done and it makes sense .. but I'm receiving data in real-time. So would be unable to use the for loop to re-package the arrays. I should have said that before! The attached is the plotting part of my 'offline' version (where I play with mathscript), it has some data which gives a better idea of what I'm trying to achieve. I'll have a go at modifying your code ..

Hi Graham,

I have changed the program so it updates during run time. Have a look an let me know what you think.
