Lesson 24: Plotting Functions in Three

Dimensions

There are six different plot types that can be used to help you

visualize

functions

of

two variables. Some

of

these

only plot

the

given

function

within

a

region

in :J-dimensional space,

called

the

V i e w

V o l u m e ,

defined

by ranges

on

each

of

the three

coordinate

axes.

The other important i3arameter for three-dimensional plotting is the

e y e p o m i ,

the point in space from which you are viewing the View

Volume. The eyepoint determines the way that the View Volume is
projected onto the two-dimensional plotting display.
