How to plot a gizmo 3d-trajectory graphic with map in the bottom?

See the "GizmoEarth" example pxp under the Visualization category of examples. It shows how to add textures (i.e. surface or planar pictures) to a Gizmo display.

Hello Peter,

The example in your image requires IP7. If you have IP7 you can find it under File Menu->Example Experiments->Visualization->flightPathDemo. As always, look at the Gizmo Info window to understand the various components of the image.

Note that while the response that you received above is correct, it is more appropriate for IP6 where you had to use generalized texture object. In IP7 you can use a Gizmo Image which simplifies many aspects of this task.

The basic steps for generating such a plot are:

1. Display some trajectory data using a Path or Scatter object based on some XYZ triplet data.
2. Obtain a map image that covers the desired area. It is your responsibility to scale the image so that it is displayed on a scale that matches the path or scatter objects.
3. Add a Gizmo Image object and rotate/translate it to position at the desired plane.

If you run into any problem with these steps you can contact support@wavemetrics.com for more specific advice.
