Re: how to ListPlot3D large data sets


Hi,

In one attempt MaxPlotPoints did not help, but I was not persistent 
because I have to resolve other issues before I return to ListPlot3D.  
One issue is that I cannot pack data. On the big data set I verify that 
it is numeric array and still  I cannot get it packed. Here is an example:

mydata={{0.00100,10.,0.},{0.00100,10.,0.00100},{0.00100,10.,0.00200},{0.00100,10.,0.00300},{0.00100,10.,0.00400}};

MatrixQ[mydata,NumericQ]
True

myPackedData=ToPackedArray[mydata,Real];

MatrixQ[myPackedData, NumericQ]
True

PackedArrayQ[myPackedData]
False

What I am doing wrong?
Thanks,
--Ted
