DPlot

You have my vote!

Hmm... copied the email reg info the the clip board and did that, seems to have worked fine. Thank You! As for the kriging, it has my vote. Had it been available back when I was pissing off the Science Coordinator at El Hierro, I could have taken him to task for the downplaying of their seismic cris...

I used the "check for updates" function and was presented with the opportunity to buy the most recent version at the existing user discount rate. After doing so, I downloaded the new version and ran the install. It picked up my licsence key normally and seems to be in an operable state. Ho...

And my latest. Video capture of the DPLOT generated quakes under El Hierro to present. 4D plot, two datasets. Topology was done by assigning an arbitrary time to the Lat, Lon, Depth points. Second data set is the Lat, Lon, Depth and Time of the individual quakes. http://youtu.be/TvWQu36Fffg The capt...

"The first column you select winds up being X."

is what you want if you select Longitude first. Right?

Yes, that's the way I do it. Works like a champ.

Using Excel, I highlight the Longitude column, then the Latitude column, and select plot xyxy.

If I'm using a third or forth axis -> Lon, Lat, Value, Value. and then the appropriate plot.

The first column you select winds up being X.

I'm using Excel 2007 (12.0.6661.5000) SP2 and Dplot 2.3.3 under Win7 with no issues.

Well, with out the issue mentioned here. I do have that pesky A axis issue in the bug report, but thats it.

When generating a 4D plot from Excel, with Lat, Lon, Depth, and Date as by columns, Dplot renders the 4th axis scale (A) in -1 to 1 rather than the Excel numbers. The data points themselves have the correct values. It's just the axis. Manually setting the range of the A axis via "Scatter Plot O...

Personally, I use 64 bit Win7 and Office 2007.

All my stuff goes to Dplot from Excel though.

Not a problem.

It's amateur stuff and mainly used to highlight discussions about activity.

Ever since Eyjafjallajökull erupted in Iceland a while back, I have been doing various plots of earthquake activity. On occasion, I have been asked how I was able to render them. Natch, I pointed at Dplot. More recently, I've overcome doing static plots and have been able to render them with multipl...

Thank you for your response and update.

If the requested file doesn't make it via E-mail, (the various anti-spam/file scrutinizers) let me know and I can try to send it via the forums. (≈60kB)

In a 4D scatter plot, how do you make the number format into date/time? http://i52.tinypic.com/6xwaag.png Previously I reworked the data so that it was "days before present" and left it at that. It would be nice to set it to something a bit more recognizable. I've had it in the correct for...

Okay, now your weirding me out. I had checked it just before my last post, still an issue, I read your last, do an update and now it says I already have the latest. Bumed, I check and now the error is gone. Apparently without downloading anything. Spooky. Thanks for your quick response. (got to be a...

Hmm... rebooted, reinstalled, still have the 2.2.9.9 version, still have the issue.

Puzzling. But I'm patient.

BTW, I'm using Dplot generated values now so that sort of eliminates Excel.

What's the current version? I keep getting 2.2.9.9 each time and the arrow issue is still there. The cursor flashes as if it's reading from the keyboard but nothing happens. It might be that "up" is being acted on incorrectly since it slews right.

Not sure it's a bug, but before the update I could use ctrl <arrow> to slew the plot around the different axis. Now I can only slew Left and Right using the Left and Up arrows. The down arrow seems like it might work, but once you reach plan view you can't go back. I've tried this on different plots...

Works like a champ. Thank You!

As for the cull, it's not a show stopper, I just didn't know If I had missed it somewhere.

Actually... (to me) that's a good thing. I thought I had mangled part of the data.

Okay... this is making my head hurt. I make a scatter of the surface and the N/S/E/W comes out correct. I make a surface of the scatter, still good. Scatter of the surface again, still good. Kill all of those and go back to the original, take away the N/S/E/W, switch to default number format. Switch...

I have found the ability to get partway there... at least it's workable. Not elegant, but highly functional. I was able to wrangle UltraEdit into a sort by column and could slice off the ends of the data I didn't want. The terrain was pared down to the area of interest. The lower plot was done separ...

Mainly I'm looking to use it on scatter plots. I ran into the weird triangle effects when deleting parts of a surface plot. Most un-nerving.

Thanks for the response. Handy for 2D but I sort of need that 3rd axis data. My version of Excel can't handle more than 65K points, and to down-sample it prior to the importing costs resolution.

Still mulling this over.

Just a thought... and if it's in there already, my apologies. How about a way to cull all data outside of the the bounds of what your extents are set to? I ask because after grinding through a massive terrain set, I only wanted to keep that part that I was interested in. My current method is to take...

2nd try via my main mail account. Both files stuck into a rar archive.

Dunno how hard it would be to implement, or if it has already been implemented and I just haven't found it yet, but this plot request was directed at me back when I was throwing together stuff. I had no idea how to do it gracefully. It's a 2D image on the bottom face of a 3D plot. One added function...

Done, should have come to you via my gmail account, my normal mail server was suspicious of the grf files. (it didn't' recognize the extension as being innocuous)

Well, first of all, I hosed up my registration here by misspelling it. As a follower of the Eruptions Blog (http://scienceblogs.com/eruptions/), Dplot was invaluable in my postings there as "Lurking." The recent eruption of Eyjafjallajökull afforded me the opportunity to get a greater gras...
