The documentation on the 3D Parametric Graph (LabVIEW 5.1.1

[matthew_e_hill]

and 6.0) is lacking. Can anyone explain to me how to input cylindrical or spherical coordinates? I can set up the graph for those coordinate systems, but I have no idea how it is translating my input array into theta and phi. This is not at all obvious.
Thanks.

The following tutorial should help:

Using the 3-D Parametric Surface Graph

x = theta
y = height(z)
z = radius

For spherical coordinates:

x = phi
y = theta
z = radius
