Plotting 3D array as a 'cloud' [message #77809] Sun, 09 October 2011 14:22 Go to previous message

Hi all,

I've got a 3D array in IDL that contains a model of a cloud - that is,
each cell is either 0 (not cloud) or 1 (cloud). I'd like to plot this in
a 3D way, so that it looks like a cloud. I'm not quite sure how else to
describe it - but I'd like to be able to see the cloud as a 3D model -
so it just looks like a cloud shaped 'blob' - if possible one that can
be rotated.

I'm not quite sure how to go about this. I don't want to do a surface
plot - because I want all sides of the cloud not just the top surface. I
guess some sort of 3D point plot would be ok, but I want to see the
cloud as a solid blob, not as points with gaps between them.

I'm a little confused by the range of IDL procedures which can be used
to plot things like this, and am not really sure which is best to try
and use.

Any suggestions?

Cheers,

Robin
