Hi,

We would like to plot a quality variable as a function of length x width x height.
Is it possible to plot a (grid/triangulized) surface plot with elevation=height where color code is a function of the quality variable?

Thanks for your help.

Cheers,
Michael

Hello,

In my case generating a bitmap for the texture will be really too tricky but I didn't thought about using 3D point series, which could be a really good thing if I'm able to set X, Y and Z coordinates plus a color per point and the size of all points (no need for a specific size per point but setting the with, height and depth of all points is needed as these cubes are not exactly cubic because the height is twice the width or the depth).

I'm trying to follow the example here (XYZ Scatter point). But so far I didn't find how to set the color to a point.

Is the XYZ Scatter Point the type of chart you were thinking of when you mentionned 3D point series ?


Edit : I found how to set the color thanks to this post, but the question is still open on how to define the exact size of the points (for example, height = 2, width = 1, depth = 1).
I would like to be able to set the size of these points in order to make them touch each other and look like it is a surface.

Best regards,
