DPlot

I've run into a color problem that should not be. I print out a scatter plot with various color baloons, one of which is a pure blue. I've printed it out in TIF, GIF and JPG. When I open any of these files in Adobe CS3 the blue baloons come out distinctly violet, not at all like the sapphire blue in ...

David,

The idea of my using the bar chart in place of the 3D space of x,y,z point of z height on an x,y grid is to tie the points to the x,y grid to help visually locate them in the 3D space.

I just thought of another idea that would accomplish the same thing in a cleaner, and I imagine easier to ...

David,

Not having any success running the barchart macro:
Contour3D(1) ' Turn 3D view on
ContourMethod(4) ' Bar chart
ContourBarWidth(0.5,0.5) ' Sets bar widths relative to X and Y interval

I start Dplot, then run the macro, then paste or paste special, Ive tried both, the following Z values of ...

David,
Your question lead me to discover that I had generated two more curves than I thought, which had no data but were labled, and two curves I was working on were not labled in the legend.

I copied the data to a new Dplot and it worked fine.

Thanks,

Michael

Using the x,y plot, when I change the line format (style or color) by right clicking on a curve, the legend key does not update. And I have not found a way to edit the key's style or color in the legend directly.

It might have something to do with the fact that I did a get preferences of a 3 curve ...

David,

Feel free to call me out on anything, as that is the way we all learn and improve.

Its really very simple. I wanted to export data from Dplot, which is the opposite of bringing data in or importing data to Dplot. So I was using search terms export and data. Copy never entered my tunnel ...

Doh!

And I couldn't find that simple solution after a half hour searching the help file.

Thanks for the help, David.

Michael

I need some help with a useful feature or plug-in that I hope exists, but cannot find. It is a way to export x,y data in column form to a spread sheet or comma delimited txt that could be imported into a spread sheet like exel.

For instance, I use exel and the plug in feature to bring x,y data ...

David,

Thanks again for this great plotting software, and for the quick lesson on macros.

Do you have a place to show off creations using your dplot?

Michael

In a 3D view - sorry, but it can't be done.

Thanks for the rapid reply.

For future reference, when I want to perform some operation within dplot that is not in a drop down list, do I run a maco command, and if so how is this done? Do I first have to create a macro containing that command, and ...

I couldnt fine a way to increase the width/thickness of the grid lines. The default width is so thin that it is missing in places on the countour plot surface.

I found a line width macro command, where the 0 argument is the grid lines, but do not know how to run a macro from the dplot program ...

Re: If I understand what you're asking, just select Options>Contour Options (or equivalently right-click on the plot and select "Contour Options"), then uncheck the "View in 3D" box.

I am getting the hang of it, but still have the desire to copy the interpolated date in my countour plot and paste ...

David,

I've generated some "colorfull mountains", that I am happy with. Saved the graphs and associated date as .grf. When I open the file it comes up as I saved it, a coutour plot. I could not find a way to switch from the countour plot to the 2d xy flat plot or some other plot. Is there an easy ...

Just wanted to say thanks to David for not only solving this problem, but helping me with a half dozen other things that he showed me how to accomplish with this incredible Dplot software. I've never seen anything close to it for such an unbelievable price. There is nothing to touch it for less than ...

Vista gives me a must close error message each time I attempt to plot from opened csv file data consisting of x,y,z tuples. Here for what they may be worth are the details:

Navigating to c:\Program Files\DPlot\addin finds no folder addin, only macros and plugins. So I can't locate the 3 files. I thought I asked for the plugin during installation. Should I uninstall and reinstall?

Also I am curious whether the Exel addin works with the version in microsoft works. I ...
