Sea Bottom Profile

Hi

I have a query about Mathcad�s programming capabilities.

We have just surveyed a trench and have a set of x,y and z coordinates and wish to generate a 3D profile of the seabed.

Can this be done in Mathcad?

Will the 3D graph generated be of good quality?


Regards

Mike

To plot the data just pass the plot matrices or vectors of x, y, and z data in parentheses: (X,Y,Z).

Mathcad can draw the surface, color it, put contours on it. What it can't do is number or label the contours (this is possible on a pure contour plot, but not when the contours are on a surface), and you can only set the number of contours, not the contour spacing.
