Hello all -
So I am using this SAS code as an example of what I want to do. Pretty much it makes a surface plot with a plane at z=.20. However the surface and plane are trasparent and you cant really tell where the plane cuts the surface. Is there a way to make the plane and surface solid so that way the plane looks like it is cutting the surface?
data nums;
keep x y z;
do i=1 to 30;
x=10*ranuni(33)-5;
y=10*ranuni(35)-5;
z=sin(sqrt(x*x+y*y));
output;
end;
run;
proc g3grid data=nums out=default;
grid y*x=z / axis1=-5 to 5 by .5
axis2=-5 to 5 by .5;
run;
data anno;
/*Produce the plane*/
function='move'; xsys='1';ysys='1';zsys='2';line=1;size=1;
x=0; y=100; z=.20;output;
function='draw';
x=100; y=100; z=.20;output;
function='draw';
x=100; y=0; z=.20;output;
function='draw';
x=0; y=0; z=.20;output;
function='draw';
x=0; y=100; z=.20;output;
/*Produce the grid lines*/
function='move'; xsys='1';ysys='1';zsys='2';line=2;size=1;
x=0; y=25; z=.20;output;
function='draw';
x=100; y=25; z=.20;output;
function='move';
x=0; y=75; z=.20;output;
function='draw';
x=100; y=75; z=.20;output;
function='move';
x=25; y=100; z=.20;output;
function='draw';
x=25; y=0; z=.20;output;
function='move';
x=75; y=100; z=.20;output;
function='draw';
x=75; y=0; z=.20;output;
run;
proc g3d data=default;
plot y*x=z / anno=anno rotate=45 tilt=75;
run;
quit;
Thanks!
