3D Surface Plots - Quick Tab

Graphical Analytic Techniques

Select the Quick tab of the 3D Surface Plots Startup Panel to specify the variables and fit of the 3D surface plot, as well as whether to include the raw data points in the plot.

Variables

Click the Variables button to display a standard variable selection dialog box, in which you can select the x-, y-, and z-axis variables for the graph. The selections made will be displayed below the Variables button.

Fit

You can fit one of several equations to the data or use one of the data smoothing procedures in the 3D surface plot by selecting one of the predefined functions on this tab.

Linear	Neg Expon Weighted LS
Quadratic	Spline
Distance Weighted LS	Wafer

Show Raw Data Points

Select this check box if you want the raw data points to be overlaid on the graph surface. (If the points are not located directly on the surface, they will be "connected" to the surface by "spikes.")
