IDL and 3-D Plotting

IDL can also create three-dimensional line plots. As an example, enter the following code at the IDL command line to create a simple three-dimensional plot with the iPlot tool:

x = FINDGEN(200)
IPLOT, x * COS(x/10), $
   x * SIN(x/10), $
   x,SYM_INDEX=5

For more information on other types of three-dimensional plots, see Surfaces and Contours.
