3d plot labels

[grahamwebb]

How can I add text labels to individual points on a 3D plot? And easily change the colour of individual points? .. And how do I add graph labels?  

I've produced the attached to help me learn about transformation matrices, but it's not very user friendly.

Thanks

Hi Grahamwebb,

You can customise your 3D plot using the 3D properties window, you can get to it by right-clicking on the plot on the front panel. Then follow the picture below :

This will open up on options window that allows you to do what you wanted!

this link might give you more help in the future also: http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361G-01/lvpage/3dpp_plots_db/

Many thanks,

If you are using the CW 3D graph then see this thread for an example that plots point colors based on values. The code posted therein explains each operation and has all of the code to do what is shown.

Thanks John. I was aware of the properties panel, but can't find an option there to pin text to the data points, in the same way that "Draw Text at Point.vi" does for 2D pictures.

I am plotting a dozen or so individual points (that correspond to motion capture markers) and would like to add labels to each of them.

Ok thanks Ben, I didn't see your response before I posted, I'll play with the example now ..
