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.

      Can I plot in 3D?

      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.

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

         

        Success!

          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!
