3D Plot

When in 2D mode, one can chose to display the spectrum not in contour mode but in 3D mode instead. First select the required part of the spectrum in contour mode. Than use Options->Stack Plot to get the following popup menu.



In 3D mode, the x axis is from left to right, the y axis is from bottom to top, and the z axis is from object to user.
 

Stack Plot/Reset

To initialize 3D plotting and transform a contour plot into a 3D plot, use this option. View and scaling are set to default values. Use de contour plot routines to leave the 3D plotting mode.
 

Rotate x

Rotate the image round the x axes with a user defined angle.
 

Rotate y

Rotate the image round the y axes with a user defined angle.
 

Rotate z

Rotate the image round the z axes with a user defined angle.
 

Skipx, Skipy

To make the manipulation of the image a bit faster, the image is drawn a a lower resolution. Some lines in the x and y direction are skipped.
 

Overall Scaling

Set the overall size of the image.
 

Scale peak height

Scale the height of the peaks with this option.
 

Hide lines

Because this type of 3D plotting is slow, the spectrum is always first drawn in wire mode. Use this option to remove the hidden lines.

Wireframe mode



There are 3 types of options that define which lines are drawn:

XZ  - draw lines in x and z directions
 


X - draw only lines in x direction.



Z - draw only lines in z direction.


 

Mouse function

When selected will Rotate, Translate or Zoom the image with the left mouse button.
 

Perspective

Use a perspective or orthographic projection.
