Plot 3D
These properties control three-dimensional plot object visualizations. For each property, the type of control and the values that can be assigned are listed, along with the property identifier and allowed values for use by the iTools Procedural Interface. For a description of how a particular control is used, refer to Property Controls.

|---|---|---|---|
| Vertex color table |
User Defined: By selecting Edit Color → Table Edit ![]()
|
None |
None |
| XY Shadow |
Boolean: Show XY shadow? Choose Hide or Show. Default = Hide |
XY_SHADOW |
0 (Hide--default) 1 (Show) |
| YZ Shadow |
Boolean: Show YZ shadow? Choose Hide or Show. Default = Hide |
YZ_SHADOW |
0 (Hide--default) 1 (Show) |
| XZ Shadow |
Boolean: Show XZ shadow? Choose Hide or Show. Default = Hide |
XZ_SHADOW |
0 (Hide--default) 1 (Show) |
| Transparency |
Number: Percent transparency. Move slider to change value.
Default = |
TRANSPARENCY |
Integer from 0 to 100. |
| Color |
Color: Color for the plot line. Click to choose from the default color palette, or specify RGB values. Default = |
COLOR |
3D integer array of the form: [R, G, B] Each color value may range from 0 to 255. |
| Line style |
Line Style: Style for the plot line. Select a style from the list. Default = |
LINESTYLE |
An integer value specifying a predefined line style, or a two-element vector specifying a stippling pattern. The predefined line styles are: 0 (Solid line--the default) 1 (Dotted) 2 (Dashed) 3 (Dash dot) 4 (Dash dot dot dot) 5 (Long dash) 6 (No line drawn) To define your own stippling pattern, specify a two-element vector [repeat, bitmask], where repeat indicates the number of times consecutive runs of 1's or 0's in the bitmask should be repeated. (That is, if three consecutive 0's appear in the bitmask and the value of repeat is 2, the line will have six consecutive bits turned off.) The value of repeat must be in the range 1 <= repeat <= 255. The bitmask indicates which pixels are drawn and which are not along the length of the line. Bitmask is most conveniently specified as a 16-bit hexadecimal value. For example, LINESTYLE = [2, 'F0F0'X] describes a dashed line (8 bits on, 8 bits off, 8 bits on, 8 bits off). |
| Thickness |
Line Thickness: Thickness for the plot line. Select a thickness from the list. Default = |
THICK |
A floating-point value between 1.0 (the default) and 10.0. |
| Shading |
String List: Shading method. Select a method from the list. Choose between these values: Default = Flat |
SHADING |
0 (Flat) 1 (Gouraud) |
| Symbol |
Symbol: Symbol to appear at regular intervals on the plot line. Choose a symbol from the list. Default = No symbol |
SYM_INDEX |
0 (No symbol) 1 (Plus sign) 2 (Asterisk) 3 (Period) 4 (Diamond) 5 (Triangle) 6 (Square) 7 (X) 8 (Right arrowhead) 9 (Left arrowhead) |
| Symbol size |
Number: Factor from 0 - 1 determining the size of the selected symbol. Move slider to change the size. Default = |
SYM_SIZE |
Floating point between 0 and 1. |
| Use default color |
Boolean: Activate Symbol color property. Choose True or False. Default = False |
USE_DEFAULT_COLOR |
0 (Do not activate symbol color property) 1 (Activate symbol color property) |
| Symbol color |
Color: Color for the selected symbol. Click to choose from the default color palette, or specify RGB values. Default = |
SYM_COLOR |
3D integer array of the form: [R, G, B] Each color value may range from 0 to 255. |
| Symbol thickness |
Number: Line thickness from 1 - 9.9 for the selected symbol. Move slider to change the thickness. Default = |
SYM_THICK |
A floating-point value between 1.0 (the default) and 9.9. |
| Symbol increment |
Number: Interval at which symbols will be displayed on the plot line. Influenced by Number of points to average (above). Edit to change the value. Default = |
SYM_INCREMENT |
Integer |
