# Customization of 3D plots

These commands are not available in any menu or by using any keyboard shortcut. However, they can be accessed through the 3D toolbar.

## Frame

This command can be accessed by a click on the

Draws only the three axes on the active 3D plot.

## Box

This command can be accessed by a click on the

Draws the three axes on the active 3D plot, and a box around it.

## No axes

This command can be accessed by a click on the

Doesn't draw the three axes nor the box on the active 3D plot.

## Front Grid

This command can be accessed by a click on the

Draws a grid on the front panel of the active 3D plot. The position of this grid is on the plane defined by y=ymin.

## Back Grid

This command can be accessed by a click on the

Draws a grid on the back panel of the active 3D plot. The position of this grid is on the plane defined by y=ymax.

## Left Grid

This command can be accessed by a click on the

Draws a grid on the left panel of the active 3D plot. The position of this grid is on the plane defined by x=xmin.

## Right Grid

This command can be accessed by a click on the

Draws a grid on the right panel of the active 3D plot. The position of this grid is on the plane defined by x=xmax.

## Ceiling Grid

This command can be accessed by a click on the

Draws a grid on the top panel of the active 3D plot. The position of this grid is on the plane defined by z=zmax.

## Floor Grid

This command can be accessed by a click on the

Draws a grid on the floor panel of the active 3D plot. The position of this grid is on the plane defined by z=zmin.

## Enable perspective

This command can be accessed by a click on the

Enables/Disables 3D perspective mode.

## Reset rotation

This command can be accessed by a click on the

Resets the rotation of the 3D plot to the default value.

## Fit frame to window

This command can be accessed by a click on the

Finds the best layout of the 3D plot to fit the window size. It readjusts the length of the axis ticks to a default value.

## Bars Style

This command can be accessed by a click on the

If the active 3D plot is a 3D histogram, this command permits modification of the style used to draw the bars.

## Dots

This command can be accessed by a click on the

If the active 3D plot is a 3D scatter, this command permits modification of the style used to draw data points as dots.

## Cones

This command can be accessed by a click on the

If the active 3D plot is a 3D scatter, this command permits modification of the style used to draw data points as cones. It it then possible to modify the drawing parameters of the cones by double clicking on the plotting area.

## Cross Hairs

This command can be accessed by a click on the

If the active 3D plot is a 3D scatter, this command permits modification of the style used to draw data points as cross-hairs. It it then possible to modify the drawing parameters of the crosses by double clicking on the plotting area.

## 3D Wire Frame

This command can be accessed by a click on the

If the active 3D plot is a 3D surface, this command is used to modify the style of the surface to be drawn as a simple wireframe.

## 3D Hidden Lines

This command can be accessed by a click on the

If the active 3D plot is a 3D surface, this command is used to modify the style of the surface to be drawn as a wireframe. A computation of hidden lines is performed.

## 3D Polygons

This command can be accessed by a click on the

If the active 3D plot is a 3D surface, this command is used to modify the style of the surface to be drawn as polygons.

## 3D Wire Surface

This command can be accessed by a click on the

If the active 3D plot is a 3D surface, this command is used to modify the style of the surface to be drawn as polygons with a mesh.

## Floor Data Projection

This command can be accessed by a click on the

If the active 3D plot is a 3D surface, this command is used to add a filled area projection of the surface on the floor of the plot.

## Floor Isolines

This command can be accessed by a click on the

If the active 3D plot is a 3D surface, this command is used to add an isoline.

## Empty Floor

This command can be accessed by a click on the

If the active 3D plot is a 3D surface, this command is used to remove any projection from the floor.

## Animation

This command can be accessed by a click on the

Enables/disables animation.
