3d color plot

I am looking to do a plot in three dimensions with the z axis displayed in different colors corresponding to the voltage level of the input. I want it to look like a topographical map. I've attached a VI. I plan to replace the 3d curve VI with the new plot. Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I think that you are looking for an intensity graph. Try the example Create IntGraph Color Table.vi and see if that is what you are looking for.

I hope that this helps,

Mr. Young,
I can't find the VI you mentioned... how might I access it (using labview 7.1)

Looking at your code suggests that you want to plot a mesh. A mesh is a surface defined by a set of x,y and z points. Have a look at the attached example, it plots a surface defined by an z array, y array and a z array.

I hope this helps.

It is unavailable if you are using the Base package of LabVIEW or if you are not on a Windows system. If you are using Full or Pro on a Windows system, you can access this VI by opening the example finder (Help -> Find Examples..) Then select: Building User Interfaces -> Displaying Data -> Charts and Graphs -> Create IntGraph Color Table.vi. If that is not what you are looking for, this is a good place to find something else that may work for you.

Good luck,
Bob Young
