How the 3D Graph tool works
Plot 3D surfaces and explore them with camera controls, contours, and parameter sliders. Enter expressions like z = f(x, y) to visualize behavior across a grid.
Quick steps
- Enter a 3D function or parametric surface definition.
- Set ranges for variables and adjust resolution for performance.
- Rotate/zoom to inspect features (peaks, valleys, intersections).
- Capture parameters in Notebook so you can reproduce the plot later.
- Define a surface (z = f(x, y)) and choose x/y bounds.
- Sampling creates a mesh grid — sharper features may need tighter ranges or higher resolution.
- Use parameters to create sliders and explore sensitivity.
- Everything runs locally in your browser.
Surfaces, bounds, and resolution
3D plots sample your function on a grid across the selected x/y ranges.
Increasing resolution can improve fidelity but may reduce performance on slower devices.
Contours and inspection
- Contours help you read height changes from above.
- Inspector panel shows camera settings and hover/pin details for learning.
