Creating a 4D Chart

Use the following steps and conditions to create a 4D chart:

1.   Add the elevation data to the chart. See Understanding Data Layout for information on adding data to a chart.

2.   Set the IsShaded and IsZoned ChartGroup properties, located on the General Tab (ChartGroup) on the Property Pages.

3.   Add the contour data to the chart. This data will be used to derive the zoning and contouring colors for the fourth dimension of chart information. The contour data is located on the Data Tab (ChartGroup) on the Property Pages.

Note:

The elevation and contour data must have the same origin and the same number of rows and columns. The row and column deltas must also be identical in both. If these conditions are not met, a 4D chart is not displayed.
