Icon Command Key Description
Frame   Draw only the three axes.
Box Plot   Draw the three axes and the 3D box around the plot.
No Axes   Doesn't draw the axes nor the box.
Front Grid   Draw a grid on the front panel. The position of this grid is the plan defined by y=ymin.
Back Grid   Draw a grid on the back panel. The position of this grid is the plan defined by y=ymax.
Left Grid   Draw a grid on the left panel. The position of this grid is the plan defined by x=xmin.
Right Grid   Draw a grid on the right panel. The position of this grid is the plan defined by x=xmax.
Top Grid   Draw a grid on the top panel. The position of this grid is the plan defined by z=zmax.
plot -> Floor Grid   Draw a grid on the bottom panel.
Floor Grid   Draw a grid on the bottom panel. The position of this grid is the plan defined by z=zmin.
Perspective   Enables/Disables the 3D perspective mode.
Reset Rotation   Resets the rotation of the 3D plot to the default values.
Autoscale   Finds the best layout of the 3D plot fitting the window size. It readjusts the length of the axis ticks to a default value.
Bar Style   If the active 3D plot is a 3D histogram, this command is used to modify the style of the bars.
Dots   If the active 3D plot is a 3D scatter, this command is used to modify the style of the data points to dots.
Cones   If the active 3D plot is a 3D scatter, this command is used to modify the style of the data points to cones. It is then possible to modify the drawing parameters of the cones by double clicking on the plotting area.
Cross Hairs   If the active 3D plot is a 3D scatter, this command is used to modify the style of the data points to cross-hairs. It it then possible to modify the drawing parameters of the crosses by double clicking on the plotting area.
3D Wire Frame   If the active 3D plot is a 3D surface, this command is used to modify the style of the surface to a simple wireframe.
3D Hidden Lines   If the active 3D plot is a 3D surface, this command is used to modify the style of the surface to a wireframe. A computation of the hidden line is done.
3D Polygon   If the active 3D plot is a 3D surface, this command is used to modify the style of the surface to polygons.
3D Wire Surface   If the active 3D plot is a 3D surface, this command is used to modify the style of the surface to polygons with a mesh.
Floor Grid   If the active 3D plot is a 3D surface, this command is used to add a filled area projection of the surface on the floor of the plot.
Isolines   If the active 3D plot is a 3D surface, this command is used to add an isoline.
Empty   If the active 3D plot is a 3D surface, this command is used to remove any projection from the floor.
Animation   Enables/Disables animation.
