Workspace Node: 3D Range Plots - Quick Tab

The 3D Range Plots workspace node can be accessed from the Feature Finder, ribbon bar, or Node Browser. The Quick tab of the specifications dialog box is displayed by default when you double-click the node. See also, "One-Sided" Ranges or Error Bars in Range Plots.

Element Name Description
Variables Click this button to display a variable selection dialog box, in which you select the variables used to define the middle point and range (i.e., the lower limit and upper limit values). The selection made will be displayed to the right of the Variables button. If more than one variable is selected for the middle point list, a multivariate range graph will be produced (the same number of variables must be selected in the mid-point and range lists).
Graph type Select one of the six types of 3D range plots to be plotted. Click a link below for a brief description of that type of graph.

Point Ranges

Border-style Ranges

Error Bar-style Ranges

Double Ribbon Ranges

Flying Boxes

Flying Blocks

Mode (range values) You can interpret the values of variables selected for the ranges in two different ways:
Absolute When you select this option button, the actual values of the middle point, minimum, maximum values will be plotted. For example, for a middle point value of 9, a minimum value of 1, and a maximum value of 12, the absolute range (as indicated by whiskers, boxes, or columns, see above) would start at 1 and end at 12, with the middle point at 9.
Relative to Mid-Point Select this check box to display the range (as indicated by whiskers, boxes, or columns, see above) relative to the middle point value. For the three points given in the above example, the range relative to the mid-point would start at 8 (the value that is 1 less than the mid-point of 9) and end at 21 (the value that is 12 more than the mid-point) with the mid-point at 9.

Options / C / W. See Common Options.

OK Click this button to accept all the specifications made in the dialog box and to close it. The results are placed in the Reporting Documents node after running (updating) the project.
