Plotting a simple straight line in 3D

Plotting a simple straight line in 3D

Hello...

I can't believe I have to ask...meaning that I can't figure this out, but here goes.

I have been trying to create a mock-up plot in 3D (x, y & z), and each thing I try I end up having to abandon. I don't need to spend a lot of time on this, so rather than try to make something work, I just keep 'dumbing it down' just for the sake of getting an end-result.

So, I have worked my way down the [difficulty] scale to where I am now, and I still can't accomplish what I need.....oh well.

What I am not trying to get done is to plot a simple straight line from the origin (0,0,0) out to some value.....which its value is immaterial to my goal.

If you plot a straight line of the form: y = mx + b, where m = 1 and b = 0, you get a nice line. I want the same thing, but in x, y & z space. For the life of me I can't get it. I think I've been at it too long.

Can anyone give a hamnd please?

Thank you

[Sigh].....I figured it out.

I don't know how to delete this post however, so it's not sitting in the list cluttering things up.

Well post your solution so it can help others in the future. That way the thread is worthwhile.
