Does anyone know a way to make a multi-surface plot
in IDL?
We have 4 2D arrays z1(x,y), z2(x,y), z3(x,y) and z4(x,y),
and we want to plot all 4 surfaces in one plot. These are
surfaces at different height. It would be interesting to
plot them together in one plot so that people can compare
them.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
J. Xu

Thanks many people for contributing their ideas on the multi-surface
plot problem. Inspired by Dr. L. Kramer, I tried the following way which
works pretty well for me:
IDL> surface, Z1, ZRANGE=[100,300], /nodata, /save ;setup coordinates
IDL> surface, Z1, ZRANGE=[100,300], /T3D, xstyle=4, ystyle=4, zstyle=4, /noerase
IDL> surface, Z2, ZRANGE=[100,300], /T3D, xstyle=4, ystyle=4, zstyle=4, /noerase
... ... (repeat this on Z3 and Z4)
It's even better if you use different color for each surface.
Because many people expressed their interest in this problem, I think
it might be good to post this solution.
Finally, Thanks, Leonard. Great idea!

I've used the Z-buffer device to plot multiple isosurfaces
(using the shade_volume/polyshade combination) into a single
image. I suspect this is also possible with the various surface
making procedures.

May I suggest:
SURFACE,Z1,/SAVE
SURFACE,Z2,/T3D,XSTYLE=4,YSTYLE=4,ZSTYLE=4,/NOERASE
SURFACE,Z3,/T3D,XSTYLE=4,YSTYLE=4,ZSTYLE=4,/NOERASE
SURFACE,Z4,/T3D,XSTYLE=4,YSTYLE=4,ZSTYLE=4,/NOERASE
You might want to also specify a different color for each variable. E-mail me
for details if interested.
