Glossary

axis scales

Data that allows custom numeric values to be displayed along the dimension axis, as opposed to array index values.

camera

The virtual viewpoint. Can be set in Cartesian coordinates with properties CamXPos, CamYPos, and CamZPos, or in spherical coordinates with CamAzmimuth, CamElevation, and CamDistance.

COI (center of interest)

The point at which the camera is "focused" in the view volume. Properties CamXCoi, CamYCoi, and CamZCoi can be use to set the COI.

data tip

A rectangular window that displays information about a data point directly under the cursor. For example, row and column indexes, and value.

face

Any of the six sides of the View Volume.

grid lines

Lines that run along the surface of the graph in the X and Y directions. Use of grid lines provides enhanced perspective for the graph. You can enable or disable grid lines using the ShowGrid property.

palette

The colors available for graphing. More specifically, a sequence of colors that map data values to colors in the graph, so that each value is associated with a color in the palette.

rank

The number of dimensions in the array.

ROI (region of interest)

A rectangular subset of array data to which the graph is limited. The SetRoiLB and SetRoiUB methods, and the ColumnStart, RowStart, NumColumns, and NumRows properties, are all available for defining an ROI.

shape

The rank, dimensions, and type of the array.

view volume

The box-shaped 3D region where the graph is displayed. Opposite corners (0, 0, 0) and (XScale, YScale, ZScale) define the view volume.
