3D Graphs - Creating a new graph
You can create an empty graph that contains no items and data, or you create a graph directory
from a monitor. To create an empty graph, select menu option Graph, Create 3D graph. A new
window is presented. The default time period of a 3 dimensional graph is the last 60 minutes.
To create a 3D graph from a monitor directly, select the monitor, right click the mouse and select
menu opion Show 3D graph.
The 3D graph uses its 3 dimensions as follows:
horizontal direction: time axis. The time increases from left to right. By default,
MonitorMagic will draw time labels at the bottom, just in front of the graph.
vertical direction: Value direction. By default, the values are scaled in a range from -100
to 100. Since most items have positive values only, the defautl scale of the graph ranegs
from 0 to 100.
depth direction: Item direction. Each item shown in the graph will be drawn at a certain
depth coordinate. When new items are added to the graph, MonitorMagic will
automatically update the depth coordinates.
Note: The windows direction of horizontal, vertical and depth direction changes when the graph is
rotated or stretched. See 3D Graphs - Orientation for more information.

3D Graphs - Adding items to a graph
You can use 2 methods to add new items to a 3D graph:
Drag- and drop items from the monitor window into the 3D graph window. When the
mouse button is released, the data will be collected from the database and shown in the
graph.
Select the main menu option: Graph, Add graph item... A dialog will be shown from
which you can select available monitor items.

3D Graphs - Time range
For each graph you can specify the time period for which data must be shown. When you create
a 3D graph, MonitorMagic always selects a time period representing the last 60 minutes. To
change the time period, make the graph window the active window and select menu option View,
Properties. (You can also right click the mouse in the graph and select the right mouse menu
option Properties). The following window is shown:
