3D Graphs and 3D Surface Graphs

Origin supports a wide variety of 3D XYZ and 3D Surface graph types, all of which are provided on one comprehensive 3D Graphs toolbar.

Plotting is quick and easy. Simply select the desired XYZ or matrix data and click on a plot type button. The rotation and size of the graph can be updated graphically or by specifying specific values. Additional properties of your 3D graph can be edited by double-clicking on any object in the graph to bring up its related properties dialog.

The table at right shows all the built-in 3D XYZ and 3D Surface graph types, such as XYZ Scatter plot graphs and 3D Wire Frame surfaces, that Origin offers. Click on a graph type link (or the plot type button) to learn more about the graph.

Graphical 3D Graph Rotation

Origin includes the ability to graphically rotate your 3D plot. By clicking once on the graph the controls for resizing are activated. Clicking a second time activates the rotation option. The graph can be rotated freely or restricted along the X or Y axes. Click on the image to the right to see a larger version.

* Although this plot is a 2D plot it can generate histograms from both 2D and matrix data. The histogram plot is especially useful when working with image data. See image plots.
