Polar plot to 3D graph

[Ahoj123]

Hello

I need create 3D graph. I have polar graph and this polar graph (polar graph.jpg) I need trasform to 3D graph, but I have matrix 18x36 data. 36 is from 0 degree to 180 degree every 5 degree and 18 is count polar graphs. So I need this all polar graphs put to 3D graph, but this is problem. This polar graphs I need to rotate 10 degrees in X Y axis I mean (example.jpg). In (direction.jpg) is direction drawing polar plot.

I did it by this example https://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Antenna-Radiation-Pattern-in-3D/td-p/2886874/page/3 but it is bad for me (my 3D.jpg).

Thanks for every answer

will be better if you upload sample of your data and vi (for LabVIEW not more than 2016)

[Ahoj123]

okay, data are (I18.zip) and VI for parse from data to graphs

Hi!

I have done brief research and found these two articles:

Plotting Arrays of XYZ Data Using the 3D Surface Graph

Plotting Data on 3D Graphs.

Hope they are helpful!

Happy Holidays!

Dont work, because error (error.jpg)

 do you want to rotate a point in three-dimensional space about an arbitrary axis?

Thanks for your answer and for all answers.

Please Can you give me some examples? I mean VI for all rotation Z, X', Z'. I find too http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361P-01/gmath/3d_cartesian_coord_rotation_direction/

and this is for direction ploting polar plot? in my picture (direction.jpg)

I need rotate about Z axis. Maybe? (first picture, right). In first post are pictures how I need rotate.

Thanks for every answer you are best 🙂

the link I posted is meant to be used with the "3d picture control", which is quite different from the 3d surface plots you use in graphs.vi ‏48 KB

an use case example of "3d cartesian coord rotation" can be found in the vi posted by MarcDub:

honestly, I don't understand what you want to do - is this a   a functional issue - or rather an cosmetic issue?

 I guess we are talking about this section of your code (which I did tidy up, see attached 2018-10-30_graphs.vi):

you have this dataset (2d z-array created from I18.zip ‏15154 KB using the unchanged rest of your code)

and you want to plot it on a sphere.

therefore you create an additional  2d x-array and an additional 2d y-array

and plot it together with the 2d z-array to "plot parametric",

and set the 3d plot's coordinate system  to "spheric"

do you want to rotate the whole "plot parametric" around the z-axis, because it looks nicer?

or do you think, something is not working properly?

by the way, you should right-click on "path2" and configure the control like this, as you don't want to selcet a a single file

but rather a folder containing a bunch of files

I am sorry for late answer. I am trying this and make 3D graph for me. I created four 3d surface with Z axis 2D array and four 3D surface with Z axis 1D array. Every 3d surface was another because I changed X Y and Z. Combine every with every. I change too degrees from 0-180 to -90 to 90. In picture is what I thought.

Thanks for your answer you help me 🙂 🙂 🙂

So I need help with 3D graph. I need set cursor in 3D graph with mouse. When I click with mouse to 3D surface or another 3D graph I need get position X Y and Z point.

How to make this? I find cursor in 3D graph properties but I can only set X Y Z in this properties but not with mouse. 😞
