Plot values on scale

I want to have the plot values on scale directly and not modify the scale within plot is it possible in 15?

OK, I see the problem but unfortunately because of a bug in Mathcads 3D component I can't offer a satisfying solution.

When you calculate Z and later plot it, all information about the original values X and Y is lost, so the best Mathcad can do is to use the matrix indices.

 

The usually preferred way is to plot a function. And using "CreateMesh" gives you better control than plotting the function directly.

But because the 3D plot is buggy (maybe it does not like large values for x and y ?) we see some nasty artefacts.

Actually on my screen it looks even worse:

I don't know how to fix this - maybe someone else has some ideas on this.

Maybe its just the installation on my machine, so try the attached file yourself.

 

I also tried to plot the function directly

Look good, but Mathcad had automatically chosen the default values for x and y running from -5 to 5.

We can change this in the "3-D Plot Format" menu

and when I do this, I see this

So give it a try yourself - maybe its just my graphics driver, graphics card, OS, ....?

Please be more specific about what you would like to accomplish.

Actually I have no idea what you may be talking about.

I guess you want to change axis settings without going "into" the graph. See here a Mathcad 15 file.

I wanted to have scatter plot to show X and Y values that correspond to variable they represent and not indices. I am looking the type of values changes and not indices
