Making 2D wave with xyz waves

Share icon

Hi,
I am trying to make a simple 2D graph with xyz data.
for instance,
x = [1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2,3]
y = [0,1,2,0,2,4,0,4,8]
z = [0,0,0,1,1,1,2,2,2].

I would like to make it 2D graph with X and Y waves indexed with z wave.
Is it possible to make the 2D graph without seperating y waves into seperate waves?

Thanks for your help!

It is not clear to me what you mean by "indexed with z wave". Typically if you have XYZ data we expect a set of {x[i],y[i],z[i]} values. If this is the case the typical approach is to concatenate the three waves into a single triplet wave and then plot a contour. If you want to generate an image use ImageInterpolate with the Voronoi keyword. You can find an example of this process by executing the command:

If this is not what you are looking for, please take more time to explain your application in more detail.

Put this in your Procedure window:
#include <XYZToMatrix>


Then make a selection from the Macros menu:

XYZ Waves to Matrix

XYZ to Matrix Range

XYZ Triplet to Matrix

XY Grid and Z to Matrix



If your X and Y data enumerate all of a grid's locations, then perhaps XY Grid and Z to Matrix will help you.
