3D Graphs
The 3D Graphing view lets you create and explore three-dimensional graphs of:
• 3D functions of the form z(x,y)
• 3D parametric plots
Selecting the 3D Graphing View
The 3D Graphing View is available on any Graphs page or Geometry page
.
▶ From the View menu, select 3DGraphing.
3D Graphs Menu
Entry line. Lets you define 3D graphs. The default graph type is 3D Function,
indicated by z1(x,y)=.
3D Graphs Work Area. Shows a 3D box containing graphs that you define. Drag to
rotate the box.
Graphing 3D Functions
1. In the 3D Graphing view, select 3DGraphEntry/Edit > Function.
The entry line appears.
2. Enter the expression that defines the graph. You can type the expression or build it
using expression templates.
