ImageSC graphs

ILImageSCGraph is the class representing ImageSC graphs. ImageSC graphs are 3D plots, which represent the third dimension as color only. ImageSC graphs look similar to surface graphs, having the height limited to zero. Also, surface graphs associate a corner of a rectangular area to each data point. In difference to that, ImageSC does associate each datapoint with an individual rectangular area itself.

ImageSC gaphs are created by use of the function ILPanel.Graphs.AddImageSCGraph(ILBaseArray). This creates a new ILImageSCGraph object, adds it to the collection of existing graphs and returns it for further configuration.

The code creating the graph seen on the left, can be downloaded for testing here. All demos in this section will also be based on this example.

ImageSCGraph provides the same properties as surface graphs. For configuration we therefore link to the ILSurfaceGraph section.

However, the ZPosition property is unique to ILImageSCGraph. It determines the position of the imagesc graph in the global value range. This will mainly be interesting, if the graph is rendered in the context of more than one graph.

ZPosition example

For the left image a surface graph and an imagesc graph are both added to a panels graph collection. Per default, the imagesc graph will be displayed on the bottom of the cube. However, this position can get adjusted by use of the ZPosition property.
