Plot of a 360 degree sampling around a line

[jonas]

I'm doing a scan around a line by sampling data 360 degrees for every value of z(z is the position on the line). So, that mean I have a double for-loop where I collect the data for each z-value. The problem comes when I try to plot the data. How should I do? I've tried the 3D-parametric graph with cylindrical coordinates, but it won't work properly.
The following structure is used for collecting the data.
For z = 0 to max_length
move delta_z
For theta = 0 to 360
move delta_theta
read (value)
End
End
Thanks!!

Jonas,

I was browsing through the Dev Zone and found this posting from you ( link ), I think is yours but I wanted to double check that you are receiving the notifications from it also.

Good luck!
