Description

Creates a 3D scatter plot from a three-dimensional dataset.

Properties

  • Trace Name: The name of the trace. If this node is the final destination on the way to displaying the plot, this field will be used as the plot’s title that displays across the top. Otherwise, this field can be used to identify the trace among several traces (for instance, by using the legend provided with the plotWindow node).

  • Dot Color: You can choose a color for the dots and/or line that comprises your scatter plot trace.

  • Dot Type: This dropdown allows you to choose a shape for the dots in your scatter plot trace.

  • Connect Dots: Toggles whether or not a line should be drawn between each dot of your scatter plot trace.

  • Color Scale Settings: The Color Scale settings group allows you to create ranges of colors across your plot. Refer to the main Color Scale documentation for more information.

  • Show Color Scale Legend: Display a bar next to your plot that indicates color scale ranges.

Input Ports

  • X: Data for the X axis.

  • Y: Data for the Y axis.

  • Z: Data for the Z axis.

Output Ports

  • trace: The data of the plot trace. Use this to forward the plot trace for further aggregation onto a plot canvas.

  • plotFileDataOut: A complete, serialized version of the plot that can be written out to a file for later viewing. Use a file node to save your plot to a file.
