How do I enter 3D data...?

Post by joecar »

Hi,

I have a spreadsheet containing an MxN array of values...

The axes of the array are X and Y, and the values are Z...

Can I copy/paste that array into DPlot and arrive at a 3D plot...?

If I can do that, then can I change the interpolation (i.e. "Equal Interval") as I did in my other post...?

Thanks,
Joe

If your data is in Excel, see the ZGrid example in EXAMPLES.XLS. That file should be in the folder where you installed DPlot, if you installed the Add-In.

If you don't have Excel but your rows and columns have equal spacing in X and Y, you can read a file of Z values only with the "Z Table" file import plugin.

The Excel Add-In only works with Excel.

For the Z Table plugin, just select File>Open, select "Plugins", then find "Z Table" in the list. The dialog box for the plugin does a better job of explaining the assumed file format than I'll do here.
