Hi,

I need to display some 3D data using a mix of surface and 3D bar concepts. a 3D surface is what I would like to use since it fits my data model: I need to plot y=f(x,z) with x and z range = [0,41].

But display should be drawn as a 3D histogram instead of a surface.

Can I do that using a surface chart? The only alternative I could find is to use a series of bar 2D series and set display as 3D. Somewhat inconvenient since I would have to manage a large array of series objects (41).

TIA for your help,

Serge.

Hi Serge,

What about using Tower series as shown in the All Features\Welcome !\Chart styles\Extended\Tower example in the features demo, available at TeeChart's program group?

You'll also find some Towers series examples in our gallery:

Narcís,

Thanks very much. This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. I can't believe I missed it when I browsed through the whole Extended demo chapter this morning.

You rock!
