Display

Flat

Check this check box to flat the surface on the bottom XY plane.

Shift in Z by percent of scale range, 0=bottom, 100=top

Check this check box to enter a number among 0 and 100 to shift the XY panel at Z axis.

Transparency

Parametric Surface

This check box is only available when the graph source is matrixes. Check this box to make X Matrix and Y Matrix drop down list available.

With these two drop-down list, you can specify the matrix objects as X and Y matrix to plot a paramatric surface.

In the drop-down list, it lists matrix object the same matrix sheet. Select More... option to open the Dataset Browser dialog to specify other matrix in the the project.
