The LAYOUT OVERLAY3D
statement builds a 3-D composite using one or more
GTL-statements. You can specify one or more 3-D
plots within the layout, provided all plots can share the same type
of axes. You can also specify “annotations” (for example,
with one or more ENTRY statements or LAYOUT GRIDDED statements). However,
annotations in the OVERLAY3D layout are more likely to collide with
other graphics features than are annotations in other overlay-type
layouts.
As an overlay-type layout,
OVERLAY3D has the same behavioral characteristics as an OVERLAY layout.
It uses the same general logic for rendering the composite (see
LAYOUT OVERLAY Statement for details), and its default axis
characteristics are generally determined by the first specified plot,
unless you use PRIMARY=TRUE on another plot statement (see
When Plots Share Data and a Common Axis).
Within an OVERLAY3D
layout, a graph’s bounding cube can be tilted, rotated, and
zoomed to provide a different viewpoint. By default, the outline of
the bounding cube is displayed and the viewing rotation angle is 57
degrees, the tilt angle is 20 degrees, and the zoom factor is 1. See
the
CUBE=,
ROTATE=,
TILT=, and
ZOOM= options for information about how
to change the viewpoint.
