Graphing a 3D Map of a Crystal

Hi,

I am trying to develop an application to create a 3D map of optical transmittance as a function of position (example attached). Where would be a good place to start?

Thanks

Root Version: 6.18/00
Platform: OsX 10.14.5

May be many 3D polyline

Do you happen to know the name of this diagram? I’m trying to find existing documentation on it.

I am not sure this kind of diagram has a name.
If it has one I do not know it.

Hi,

how did you generate this plot (with ROOT?) ,
if so: can you provide the macro
or did you find it somewhere?
Can you provide the URL of the source

Cheers
Otto

Someone else made this plot with MatLab, but our lab lost the code. However, I replicated producing one face in ROOT with the TH2 Poly class. I’ll enclose the macro and photo.

Does anyone know how to label the weight (the colored bar on the right)? I tried doing this:

h2p->GetZaxis->SetTitle(Optical Transmittance Deviance (%));

However, I get “error: reference to non-static member function must be called; did you mean to call it with no arguments?”

  // Sets the title, removes the stats box, and draws graph.
  h2p->SetTitle("Sample 72 (620 nm) - Position vs Deviance in Optical Transmittance; Position(mm); Y Axis; Z Axis");
  h2p->GetZaxis()->SetTitleOffset(0.5);
  h2p->SetStats(0);
  h2p->Draw("COLZ");
