  multiple 3D (XYZ) lines

Is there any way to plot multiple 3D  lines in an XYZ area? Basically i want to add multiple
XY lines one behind the other (in the Z direction).

Thanks

Hi Marios,

There is a 3D "strips" example in the following gallery page (the second chart on the left):

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

The 3D strips are created by adding 3D line layers multiple times. A short example is:

c.addLineLayer(data0).set3D();
c.addLineLayer(data1).set3D();
c.addLineLayer(data2).set3D();

If you would like to use lines instead of "strips", you may use:

c.addLineLayer(data0);
c.addLineLayer(null).set3D();
c.addLineLayer(data1);
c.addLineLayer(null).set3D();
c.addLineLayer(data2);

The empty line layers (using null as the data) above create some 3D distance between the 2D line layers.

Hope this can help.

Regards
Peter Kwan

Hi Peter,

Thanks for your response. To be honest i have already tried your solution but it is not
exactly what i would like to do.

To be more clear about my objective is to create a graph similar to the 3DScatterGroup (in
the examples) but the points of each group need to be connected between each other
creating a line (3 lines in the example). Basically each XZ graph will have a constant y data
vector making all 3 of the appear parallel to each other

Thanks
Marios

Hi Marios,

Unlucky, ChartDirector is currently unable to draw line charts in the ThreeDChart object.

Hi Peter,

Are you in development of these (real) 3D Manhattan Bar like features? If yes, when will it
(CD) be updated?

Regards,
Ralf

Hi Ray,

Currently, ChartDirector can only draw 3D bar charts using XYChart layers. They are like the bar charts in our chart gallery:

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

Whereas we do have a plan to create real 3D bar charts based on the ThreeDChart object (with configurable 3D rotation angles and perspective), we still cannot commit a date on when will this be available.

Peter Kwan

Hi Peter, is the real 3D bar charts based on the ThreeDChart object already available?

Hi at,

Unluckily, real 3D bar charts based on ThreeDChart is not available.

Hello,

With your proposed 3D Objects, will the ability to render3D objects like cylinders or cubes or arbitrary shapes be supported? Will they have hotspots (clickable)?  Is this a feature coming sometime in the future?

Thanks
