Origin Ver. and Service Release (Select Help-->About Origin): Origin Pro 9
Operating System: VMware Fusion (virtual windows in a mac computer).

Could anyone advise me how to smooth a 3D surface map in Origin Pro v9? In the previous versions (e.g., v7) I was used to convert my matrix-like worksheet data to a matrix so that I can plot a smooth graph from the matrix.

For unknown reason(s) my Origin Pro 9 cannot recognise my worksheet anymore. In addition, I could not select the data manually so that I can do the conversion.

Any suggestion is much appreciated!
Cheers,

HP

Hi HP,

To smooth a 3D surface, you will need to convert your worksheet data into a matrix, and then smooth the matrix data.

I am not sure what do you mean by "Origin cannot recognize worksheet". When you active the worksheet window, could you select "Worksheet: Convert to Matrix" menu?

Thanks,
Amanda

Hi Amanda,

Thank you for your reply. Please see the attachment that showing the "Origin cannot recognize worksheet/selected data". I used the xyz gridding method.

Thank you very much!

Hi HP,

Thank you for the image. You data is in a virtual matrix form, so you should use Worksheet: Convert to Matrix: Direct menu, not XYZ Gridding. Here is the document of the dialog:

Since your first row is blank, you can delete it before open the dialog. And reorganize the X value row (2nd row) like image below:

Hi GZ_MOD,

Thank you very much for the instruction. Could you please advise me how to smooth the matrix then? I found this http://www.originlab.com/doc/Tutorials/3D-Plotting-Basic but it is for xyz worksheet. I tried to convert my matrix to xyz, it worked, but I failed to try to smooth the xyz as instructed in the link. There is an error message saying that "too few available data points for xyz grinding".

Best regards,
HP
