Re: 3d scientific graphing

From a search on search.cpan.org... GD::Graph3D

I recommend searching cpan for modules before asking on PM. Asking a question like this one falls under the general catagory which is generally impolitely stated as "RTFM" (Read the f***ing manual). I try not to rail on new users though =)

Check out How do I post a question effectively? for some general posting tips.

I don't know a thing about 3dGraphing on Perl, though, so I don't know if this module is any good or if it's exactly what you're looking for. Try it and find out if it's what you're looking for, and if not, come back with a more informed question.

Welcome to the monastary!
Peace!

With all due respect, I spent quite a lot of time looking through CPAN for something appropriate so your advice is a bit wide of the mark. Also, GD::Graph3D is not a 3-axis graphing module, it's a 2-axis module where you can specify the "depth" of the lines, bars, pie, etc. CPAN is a very good source of technical data when you know the module you want, but I'd like to avoid wading through the hundreds of pages generated by the scores of matches to "3D". I've already waded through quite a lot of it without seeing anything that looks definitively good. Thanks, Bret	[reply]

I'm glad you did, and I apologize for assuming you didn't. It's just that a lot of people don't take the time to do such a search to any degree. In general, I suggest that your original post explain some of the things you've already tried, some things you rejected, etc. so folks will know you've done your homework and they'll be willing to get into a discussion on a higher level than "look on CPAN!" =) Wish I had a recommendation of a good module for you.

Uh, there are 24 matches for 3D. It's not that much to look through. I'll grant that little of it is relevant, though. Makeshifts last the longest.	[reply]
