Datagrid Surfaces¶

Values from datagrids are applied to control the surface color and geometry in the following examples. The first six examples use the same data set and show the analogy between an image and datagrid, when compared to the Image Mapping examples above.

Mapping a 2D datagrid onto a spherical surface.

Datagrid Geometric Mapping

Datagrid color and geometry mapping are combined with shading.

Just for fun. A visualization tool wouldn't be complete without a Mandelbrot demo ;-)
