I am trying to plot a 3D surface graph using data in a file of the form:
x1 y1 z1
x2 y2 z2
.
.
xN yN zN
This is the way that a plotting program called GENPLOT likes it.
I have tried the following which, however, does not work:
<<Graphics'Graphics3D'
data=ReadList["datafile",Number,RecordLists->True]
ListSurfacePlot3D[data]
I get an error message and a blank screen. (These instructions came
from the Mathematica help-line). Since my version of Mathematica
excludes support, I can not request more help from Wolfram. They gave
me your net address for possible help.
Thanks,
