A 3-dimensional graph is drawn within a virtual rectangular 3 dimensional block object. The object
has 6 surfaces and 12 axis. Each axis can be identified as the intersection of 2 surfaces. For
each axis, you can specify the following items to be drawn:
The axis itself
Text labels next to the axis
Perpendicular scale lines that intersect one of the two surfaces.
All axes are drawn with the same color.

For the 3D graph, the following additional parameters can be specified:
Horizontal fill factor
The fraction of graph in the horizontal direction that will be used to draw the items of the graph.
When 100% is specified, all room in the horizontal direction will be used. The usage of this
parameter depends on display method used to display each item.
Depth fill factor
The fraction of graph in the vertical direction that will be used to draw the items of the graph.
When 100% is specified, all room in the depth direction will be used.
Anti-aliasing mode
By default, the lines drawn in the 3D graph will be drawn using anti-aliasing techniques. To
enhance the graph further, you can enable anti-aliasing for all other objects drawn in the graph.
The highest mode corresponds with the best result, but also requires most CPU time to render
the graph into the window. Note that anti-aliasing can cause extreme CPU usage during
rendering of the graph.
Automatically size legend
When new items are added to the graph, the legend area of the graph shown at the bottom of the
graph window will be resized automatically when this option is enabled.
Automatically update depth projection parameters
When the graph is rotated and other orientation and projection parameters are changed, parts or
the whole graph may become invisible. By setting this option, the depth projection parameters will
be updated automatically so that the whole graph is shown.

3D Graphs - Orientation
To change the orientation, e.g. projection of the 3D graph, right click the mouse in the graph and
select menu option Orientation ... A small window will be shown. From the window, you can
select an item that specifies a particular orientation parameter. When a parameter is selected,
you can change the parameter with the slider shown in the window. While the slider is changed,
the 3D graph will be updated automatically.
