Attached is a Prime 4 file that allows you to plot text in a graph, like:

Of course it runs in Prime Express...

 

Enjoy!

    Hi Werner,

     

    Thanks for pointing that out. I think it's corrected now.

    Very neat, Luc.  Concise, too.

      I don't know. Prerequisite is that you have access to the full functionality of Prime. I'm limited to Express...

      The text plotting functions create matrices of many rows and two columns. I think that for 3D plotting you'd need 3 columns. Now it's easy to augment the matrix with another row. Suppose T is the output of a text plotting function then you could add the third column with:

           T:= augment(T,update1(0,last(T),0)+z)

      to position your text on the x-y plane at elevation z.

      The other thing is that the T will contain NaN values. I don't know if the 3D plots will accept them.

       

      Success!

      P.S. The better way to create the z-coordinates may be:

      Which will preserve the NaN values.

        While the 3D plot in Prime in no way can live up to that in real Mathcad, it has at least the advantage of accepting NaN's like the 2D plot in Mathcad does.

          Corrected errors that prevented it from working with ORIGIN values other than 0.

           

          Success!

            Great @LucMeekes  both 2D &3D.big thank
            maybe this last question hahaha. how to convert from Number to Text in Prime for Plot Number?
            Best regards SPRSTRUCTURE

            Use the num2str() function:

              Hi, do you know if it's possible to plot text like this in Mathcad 15?

              Yes, I do know.

              And.

              Yes, it's possible.

              But I haven't created a Mathcad sheet yet with a copy of what's in the Prime sheet.

              If you are in a hurry, have a look at the E-book "Creating amazing images" by Byrge Birkeland.

               

              Success!
