in the 2-D plot, there is trianglar type in origin. but now i want to plot a 3-D pic composed of x y and z axis. in the x-y plane, the x and y axis form 60 degree, the z axis is perpendular to x and y plane. i.e I want to plot a prism diagram with data in it. is it possible to plot such pic in Origin. please advise thanks |

Hi osumse,
There is no "3D equivalent" to Origin's ternary plot, but you could certainly create a 3D scatter plot of your data. But I am supposing that you would like each of the x/y/z triplets to add to 1 (or 100%). If so, you'll have to massage your data so that each triplet value -- x, y, and z -- is divided by the sum of x+y+z (you could use the Set Column Values feature for this).
There is one other option that comes to mind: You can plot your x,y,z data using the standard ternary plot, then use a fourth column of data to control symbol color. To do this, make your ternary plot then double-click on the plot to open the Plot Details dialog box. On the Symbol tab, click the Symbol Color button, choose Color Mapping and specify the column which contains the "color control" data set.
Does this help you?
