Hi all!

Is it possible to plot a 2D surface plot as I used to do it with pylab (attached file).

Thanx!

Hi Daniel,

In ChartDirector, we called this type of chart a "contour chart". See:

http://www.advsofteng.com/gallery_contour.html

If you draw the contour chart and configure the contour color to transparent (so there is no visible contour) and using the bilinear interpolation method (so the boundary between colors is "linear" instead of "curved"), the chart willl look similar to that in your message.

Hope this can help.

Hi,

Can you explain how to use the bilinear Interpolation method with the Contour Chart?  Is
there a specific method that I can call?  Thx!

Hi David.

The method to use is ContourLayer.setSmoothInterpolation. For example, in Python:

myContourLayer.setSmoothInterpolation(0)

Hope this can help.
