Plotting 3D scatter plot a number of times

Post by max4 »

hi
My code generates x,y,z values of a surface at different times. Dplot creates nice 3D scatter plot. Thank you for that.
But I have to plot those surface change for different times. There can be hundreds of plots which would be cumbersome to do by manual ways. Is there a way/macro to do it automatically and also create video file using those frames? Any help would be highly appreciated.

It sounds like you're generating 3D data, saving that data to a file, then reading the file in DPlot. Is that correct?

You'd save many steps by plotting the data directly from your code (assuming that's possible). If you haven't taken a look at the dplotlib.dll examples you might want to do that. They are in or below the \dplotlib folder where you have DPlot installed.

DPlot will not save a video file, but you can save a series of bitmap images and then use something like Windows Movie Maker to build a video from those frames.
