A.4.11 Sphere Plot Window

Sphere Plot Window

The Sphere Plot () plots spherical polar coordinates in an isotropic 3-dimensional space. Although the supplied coordinates are spherical polar, the visible space is not necessarily centred on the coordinate origin, and the visible axes are Cartesian. In many respects this works like the Cube Plot Window

The positional coordinates are Longitude and Latitude (in degrees) and Radius.

The sphere plot offers the following plot controls:

• Position Layer Control, with these form options:
  • Mark
  • Size
  • SizeXY
  • Polygon
  • Label
  • Line3d
  • Contour
• Pair Layer Control, with the following plot controls:
  • Link2
  • Mark2
• Area Layer Control, with the following plot control:
  • Area
  • Central
  • Area Label
• Quad Layer Control, with the following plot controls:
  • Poly4
  • Mark4
• SphereGrid Layer Control

See the Window Overview for features common to all plotting windows. The following subsections describe navigation and axis configuration.
