CDSurfaceChartMBS.addXYProjection(offset as Integer = 0)

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	ChartDirector	MBS ChartDirector Plugin	21.2	✅ Yes	✅ Yes	✅ Yes	✅ Yes	All

Adds a projection of the surface on the XY wall.

The XY wall is the wall containing the x axis and y axis. It is usually under the plotted surface. Because of this, the surface may block the projection, making it hard to see. To address this issue, it is common to add a bottom margin to the z-axis (see Axis.setMargin). This will move the z-axis scale and therefore the surface upwards, leaving more space between the surface and the XY wall to make the projection more visible.

This method accepts an optional offset argument that can be used to move the projection vertically. A positive offset moves the it upwards. A negative offset moves it under the XY wall. Because of this, for negative offsets, the XY wall must be hidden using ThreeDChart.setWallVisibility, otherwise the chart will not be drawn correctly.

Argument	Default	Description
offset	0	The vertical offset of the XY projection in 3D pixel coordinates. A positive offset moves it upwards. A negative offset moves it under the XY wall.

Argument	Default	Description

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	ChartDirector	MBS ChartDirector Plugin	9.2	✅ Yes	✅ Yes	✅ Yes	✅ Yes	All

Sets the data for the surface chart.

ChartDirector supports both gridded and scattered data. If the data points are on a rectangular grid will no missing points, they will be handled as gridded data. Otherwise, they will be handled as scattered data.

For gridded data, you may provide the x and y values of the grid, and the z values of the data points. For a 10 x 15 grid, that means the x data series should have 10 values, the y data series should have 15 values, and the z data series should have 150 values. The x and y data series should be strictly monotonic (either strictly increasing or strictly decreasing).

For both gridded and scattered data, you may also provide the (x, y, z) values of the data points. For example, for 150 data points, the x, y and z data series should each have 150 values. ChartDirector will automatically detect if the data points are gridded or scattered.

Arguments:

Argument	Default	Description
xData	(Mandatory)	An array of numbers representing the x data series.
yData	(Mandatory)	An array of numbers representing the y data series.
zData	(Mandatory)	An array of numbers representing the z data series.

CDSurfaceChartMBS.setInterpolation(xSamples as Integer, ySamples as Integer = -1, isSmooth as Boolean = true)

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	ChartDirector	MBS ChartDirector Plugin	9.2	✅ Yes	✅ Yes	✅ Yes	✅ Yes	All

Enables and sets the degree and method of interpolation of the data points.

A surface chart consists of planar patches, drawn using the data points as the vertices. To create visually smooth surfaces, we may use a large number of small planar patches. However, this requires a large number of data points.

For example, consider a plot region of which the x and y dimensions are both 400 pixels in length. To create a smooth surface, if gridded data are used, the distance between grid lines should be no more than a few pixels. Suppose a grid spacing of 8 pixels is used. The grid size will be 51 x 51, and 2601 data points will be needed.

If the number of available data points are too small to create a smooth surface, This method can be used to generate a denser grid of data points from the original data points using interpolation.

Two types of interpolation are supported. In spline surface interpolation, ChartDirector will compute a smooth surface that passes through the original data points, and sample the spline surface for the new data points. In bilinear/linear interpolation, ChartDirector will apply bilinear/linear interpolation to its vertices of the original patches to compute the new data points.

Arguments:

Argument	Default	Description
xSamples	(Mandatory)	The number of samples on the x-dimension to interpolate to.
ySamples	-1	The number of samples on the y-dimension to interpolate to. -1 means it is the same as xSamples.
isSmooth	true	A true value means to use spline surface interpolation. A false value means to use bilinear/linear interpolation.
