Surface Plotting Large Arrays

Engineer-1 · Post by **Engineer-1** » Wed Jan 03, 2007 7:29 pm

I am an engineer currently writing an FEA program in VB6, but I haven't written code for several years. My issues with VB6 are several (which includes syntax, but that's not for this forum), but in downloading the DPlot.zip file (and unzipping), I found a note that I need to clarify. In one of the files, I believe it is a comment in the actual code, it alludes to the fact that the supplied code is limited to concurrently display no greater than 1000 plot points. Is that true? I need to display 25,000 or more plot points (in a surface plot rendering). Can this be done in DPlot with the VB6 DPlot code? If not, what suggestions can you make?

At first glance at the VB6 source I don't see the comment you're talking about. My guess is it was only stating that "this is the number of points we're using" rather than implying a maximum. In any case, yes - you can generate a surface plot from 25000 (or several million) data points.
