Dear All.

I have 2000 'waves' of x-y data (diffraction data) that differs by time. I can make a matrix to contain all the data required but the axes don't represent the data contained in the plot. Only the Y axis does this. In a standard 2d plot I can make the x-axis easy enough. The z-axis is labelled as layer number, I want to be able to modify this so it shows what the data really is.

Does anyone know how to do this ? Do I need to change the way I'm making matrices ?

Please let me know if you need more information, I'm sure that you will.

Many thanks

Adam,
Hello Adam,

It is not clear to me what you mean when you say that your data differs by time. If you have a wave for say t1 and a wave for t2, t3 and so on, with t[n+1]-t[n]=dt for every n then it could be appropriate to store the 2000 waves in one big matrix. Otherwise you will have to use a different approach that depends on your sampling. Also, what do you mean when you say "x-y data"? Are these single waves or xy pairs of waves?

Please give us more details so we can better help you.

Hi

Thanks for your reply, I managed to set the axes simply by using the setscale command. It's worked a treat.

Now for gizmo movies !
