Hi,
I have a 3D matrix, of the form
{{{1, 2, 3, 4},
{5, 6, 7, 8},
{9, 10,11,12},
{13,14,15,16}},
{{17, 18, 19, 20},
{21, 22, 23, 24},
{25, 26, 27, 28},
{29, 30, 31, 32}}}
I want to plot this matrix, where every number is a unit cube, to give a
sort of 3D grid, where the number gives the colour. In reality most numbers
would be 0, which would be transparent.
I want to do this as I'm developing a 3D partitioned cellular automaton, and
have it defined over structures of this sort, and I want to be able to
visualise its development. In 2D I've used MatrixPlot and Animate to do
this.
One layer is 1-16, and the second is 17-32.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks!
