Undoubtedly, all in all, far too much effort. I was wondering if anyone knew how to reverse the direction of an axis on a contour plot in Mathcad Prime 2.0 I really want to see if this is possible without having to resort to detailing negative values on the axis. And since Prime, unlike real Mathcad, doesn't even provide an image operator, you would not even be able to see the image right away, but would have to save it to a file first and then manually import it back into the Prime file as a picture.

You would have to program yourself something like a Bresenham algorithm for plotting lines. I actually see no easy way to create in Prime the plot colored the way you demand.Ī (sure too much) elaborate possibility would be to generate an appropriate image matrix with a Mathcad program (probably working, but not completely serious meant). Moreover Prime only allows solid colors and so the wished for effect can't be accomplished. Actually you could do in Prime what I have shown in the picture, but it would be quite a hassle to get the correct view from above because you would have to fiddle around with the mouse instead of being able to set the view numerically (rotation, tilt, twist and zoom) as in Mathcad. For example, the contour plot typically displays angle values from 60 to 0 degrees and I want to clearly show the 30 degree line. I want to be able to create highlighted contour lines at any given value. I have plotted a angle of the function Omega (x,q). Unlike a surface plot, where the z-axis limits are determined by the largest and smallest values of all surfaces, a contour plot limits are determined solely from the single plot z limits.

The rightmost pic shows a logarithmically scaled y-axis which seemed to me more appropriate for the given data.īut the possibilities in Prime are much more meager and especially when it comes to 3D plots this software is a mess.

Mathcad, a PTC Technology 1.63K subscribers Subscribe 1K views 10 months ago This video shows how to use the contour plot feature of Mathcad Prime, what is the format of the input data that. In real Mathcad (MC15 and below) you could create a 3D-plot, chose for color one of the predefined colormaps like "Rainbow" or provide your own color map and arrange the plot so you have a view exactly from above: Contour Plot of Data Use a contour plot to display data recorded in a matrix. A contour plot is for surfaces only and the lines you would see are those of equal height (and equal color). The plot is focussed on the first quadrant of the XY plane and the width of the plot is 2.
