Surface Graphing
« on: November 10, 2012, 03:07:39 am »
Let's say I have a list of a 500 3D coordinates, and I want to visualize the surface they form. How can I do this efficiently without learning a new programming language or paying dollars? I'd like something I can just copy-paste the data into, if such a thing exists. I can probably format it appropriately without too much trouble.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Great, now find me one that can take an arbitrary number of 3 dimensional coordinates and spit something readable out :P

Actually, I did just find this, so now it's just a matter of learning enough about its workings to see if it will do what I need.
