# Customization of 3D plots

These commands are not available in any menu or by using any keyboard shortcut. However, they can be accessed through the 3D toolbar.

Frame

  This command can be accessed by a click on the

  Draws only the three axes on the active 3D plot.

Box

  This command can be accessed by a click on the

  Draws the three axes on the active 3D plot, and a box around it.

No axes

  This command can be accessed by a click on the

  Doesn't draw the three axes nor the box on the active 3D plot.

Front Grid

  This command can be accessed by a click on the

  Draws a grid on the front panel of the active 3D plot. The position of this grid is on the plane defined by y=ymin.

Back Grid

  This command can be accessed by a click on the

  Draws a grid on the back panel of the active 3D plot. The position of this grid is on the plane defined by y=ymax.

Left Grid

  This command can be accessed by a click on the

  Draws a grid on the left panel of the active 3D plot. The position of this grid is on the plane defined by x=xmin.

Right Grid

  This command can be accessed by a click on the

  Draws a grid on the right panel of the active 3D plot. The position of this grid is on the plane defined by x=xmax.

Ceiling Grid

  This command can be accessed by a click on the

  Draws a grid on the top panel of the active 3D plot. The position of this grid is on the plane defined by z=zmax.

Floor Grid

  This command can be accessed by a click on the

  Draws a grid on the floor panel of the active 3D plot. The position of this grid is on the plane defined by z=zmin.

Enable perspective

  This command can be accessed by a click on the

  Enables/Disables 3D perspective mode.

Reset rotation

  This command can be accessed by a click on the

  Resets the rotation of the 3D plot to the default value.

Fit frame to window

  This command can be accessed by a click on the

  Finds the best layout of the 3D plot to fit the window size. It readjusts the length of the axis ticks to a default value.

Bars Style

  This command can be accessed by a click on the

  If the active 3D plot is a 3D histogram, this command permits modification of the style used to draw the bars.

Dots

  This command can be accessed by a click on the

  If the active 3D plot is a 3D scatter, this command permits modification of the style used to draw data points as dots.

Cones

  This command can be accessed by a click on the

  If the active 3D plot is a 3D scatter, this command permits modification of the style used to draw data points as cones. It it then possible to modify the drawing parameters of the cones by double clicking on the plotting area.

Cross Hairs

  This command can be accessed by a click on the

  If the active 3D plot is a 3D scatter, this command permits modification of the style used to draw data points as cross-hairs. It it then possible to modify the drawing parameters of the crosses by double clicking on the plotting area.

3D Wire Frame

  This command can be accessed by a click on the

  If the active 3D plot is a 3D surface, this command is used to modify the style of the surface to be drawn as a simple wireframe.

3D Hidden Lines

  This command can be accessed by a click on the

  If the active 3D plot is a 3D surface, this command is used to modify the style of the surface to be drawn as a wireframe. A computation of hidden lines is performed.

3D Polygons

  This command can be accessed by a click on the

  If the active 3D plot is a 3D surface, this command is used to modify the style of the surface to be drawn as polygons.

3D Wire Surface

  This command can be accessed by a click on the

  If the active 3D plot is a 3D surface, this command is used to modify the style of the surface to be drawn as polygons with a mesh.

Floor Data Projection

  This command can be accessed by a click on the

  If the active 3D plot is a 3D surface, this command is used to add a filled area projection of the surface on the floor of the plot.

Floor Isolines

  This command can be accessed by a click on the

  If the active 3D plot is a 3D surface, this command is used to add an isoline.

Empty Floor

  This command can be accessed by a click on the

  If the active 3D plot is a 3D surface, this command is used to remove any projection from the floor.

Animation

  This command can be accessed by a click on the

  Enables/disables animation.
