Starts a VDA Tool used for surface plots.
A 2D array containing the values that make up the surface or an equivalent expression. If x and y are supplied, the surface is plotted as a function of the X,Y locations specified by their contents. Otherwise, the surface is generated as a function of the array index of each element of z.x
(optional) A vector or 2D array (or equivalent expression) specifying the x-coordinates for the surface.
If x is a 2D array, each element of x specifies the x-coordinate of the corresponding point in z (xij specifies the x-coordinate for zij).
(optional) A vector or 2D array (or equivalent expression) specifying the y-coordinates for the surface.
If y is a 2D array, each element of y specifies the y-coordinate of the corresponding point in z (yij specifies the y-coordinate for zij).
The widget ID of the parent widget. Position
Specifies, in pixels, the x and y (horizontal and vertical) coordinates for the starting location of the upper-left corner of the VDA Tool window. Restore
A data structure previously saved by the Tools Manager with the TmSaveTools function. This keyword is reserved for internal use; it is not to be used at the command line (see Discussion).Shade
Used to specify how to shade the surface. This keyword can be set to a variable (2D byte array) used to shade the surface, or to one of the following values:
Template
A string containing the name of a VDA Tool template file. XSize
Specifies, in pixels, the width of the drawing area. YSize
Specifies, in pixels, the height of the drawing area.
The Restore keyword is used specifically by the TM_RESTORE method. For information on the TM_RESTORE method, refer to the source code for WzPlot in:
wavedir
/lib/vdatools/wzsurface.pro wavedir:[LIB.VDATOOLS]WZSURFACE.PRO
wavedir\lib\vdatools\wzsurface.pro
wavedir is the main PV-WAVE directory. A template is a VDA Tool without any data associated with it. The template contains all of the modifications to the VDA Tool
colors, axes, graphical elements that were set when the template file was saved. Template files are saved with the File=Save Template As ... function on the VDA Tool.
NOTE: For information on how to use this VDA Tool, use online Help. Select the On Window command from the VDA Tool Help menu to bring up Help on this VDA Tool.
