A few ways, with all but the last involve rendering two images per time frame -- one for 3d and one for the plot:
1. Create two sequences. Combine them into a montage either inside DX using Collect, Arrange, etc. or outside of DX with IM montage 2. Render a plot image, which you can treat as a field (regular grid with colors). Use Translate, Rotate and Scale (or Transform) to place it into the 3d scene with the right orientation. If you change your camera, than you have to do the opposite to the image. 3. Render a plot image, and convert to a screen object. There was some discussion on this subject a month or so ago. 4. Create the plot, but don't render it. Use Translate, Rotate and Scale (or Transform) to place it into the 3d scene with the right orientation. If you change your camera, than you have to do the opposite to the plot. 1. implies batch production 2. and 3. are expensive since you are rerendering an image Wood Brent <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>@opendx.watson.ibm.com on 02/23/2002 12:41:52 AM Please respond to [email protected] Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [email protected] cc: Subject: [opendx-general] How to draw multiple plots on a screen: Hi all, Back asking for more help, but I'm learning, & enjoying it! I have an animation showing glyphs representing events occuring in a 3D space over time, with ancilliary data. One frame per time interval. What I'd like to do now is have the same 3D box & data, but add onto one corner of the screen a simple XY line graph or histogram. The graph should have time (=frame) on the X axis & the sum of the glyphs (in the 3D animation) on the Y axis. A dot moves along the plotted line to show which time period is currently displayed in the 3D graphic. (or plot as a histogram instead of a line & colour the appropriate bar for each frame). Can anyone toss me some pointers as to how to do this? I can probably get the graph or histogram plotted on the screen, but can't see any way of controlling where on the screen it is plotted, what I've done so far is centred on screen, & so gets overwritten by the 3D image. adTHANKSvance Brent Wood __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
