Cube Plot Window
The Cube Plot (
)
plots 3-dimensional Cartesian positions in a 3-d space.
See the Window Overview
for features common to all layer plots.
The positional coordinates are X, Y and Z. To control the direction and linear/log scaling of the axes, see the Coords tab of the Axes control.
Navigation controls:
To re-centre the plot in the visible cube, right-click on the position you're interested in. A screen position represents a line not a point, so there is a degeneracy here; the new central position is actually the average of data point positions near the mouse click. The upshot is that if you click on a point or clump of interest, it should end up in the centre of the cube.

Either of these zooms the data volume in the visible cube
about its centre, so the cube wireframe axes stay in the same place
on the screen, but the axis annotations move.
If you want to zoom in or out on the cube wireframe itself, you can do it using the Zoom Factor slider in the View tab of the Axes control.
The cube plot offers the following plot controls:
