2D - 4D CONTOUR MAPS

contour map 4D

3DFieldPro is a contouring plotting and 4D-3D data program. It converts your data into contour maps, surface or volume plots. 3DFieldPro allows to create the contours (isolines) on surface and isosurfaces in volume from regular data set or scattered points. All aspects of 2D or 3D maps can be customized to produce exactly the presentation you want.

Create isosurfaces from 4D scattered points

5 3D interpolation methods:

-  RBF (Radial Basis Functions);
-  Inverse Distances;
-  Triangulation;
-  Kriging;
-  Linear System.

How to create contour map:

If you have a scattered points data set:
X Y Value or Z
(option)
Label
(option)
26070 46750 4.6750 Point_1
27890 37640 3.7640  
... ... ...  
24080 36560 3.6560 "Point 23"
Open that file in 3DField
Draw the boundary with the mouse or load it ( if it is necessary)
Double-click on "Color fill contours" tree item of the Map list
Click on 3D OpenGL View button in the toolbar
