Otto,
Load the package Graphics3D by
<<Graphics`Graphics3D` and use ScatterPlot3D. You will find more info in
the on line help.

Subject: [mg28893] [mg28884] ListPlot vs ListPlot3D
Dear Mathematica experts, I was wondering if there is a way of plotting
a 3D graph using a rectangular array of z-values USING THE CORRESPONDING
VALUES OF X AND Y.
Here is what I mean:
with a 2D plot, one can do:
ListPlot[ {y1,y2,y3,.........yn} ] and this will give a graph of the
points
{y1,1} ,{y2,2}, {y3,3},....{yn,n}, i.e. it will use the integers
1,2,3,...n as the x values.
One can, however, write
ListPlot[ { {x1,y1}, {x2,y2}, {x3,y3}, ... {xn,yn} }]
and get a graph with user-specified values for x and y.
There doesn't seem to be an analogous thing for ListPlot3D. The values
of x and y seem to be always {1,1}, {1,2},{2,1},{2,2},.......{n,n}
Any ideas? Thanks in advance. Otto Linsuain.
