Good afternoon, I could really do with some help with this. I have an array containing a series of x, y pairs, and I have a formula which takes these x, y pairs as inputs along with three other variables a, b, & c to calculate each z value. What I need to be able to do is calculate the corresponding z value for each x, y pair, then create an interpolated surface through these x, y, z points. Three slider bars will then update the values of a, b, and c which in turn update the z calculation and update the plot. The stage I am currently at is as follows: Manipulate [ ListPoint3d [ Table [ functionName [x, y, a, b, c], {x, 10, 40}, {y, 10, 90} ], ColorFunction -> "Rainbow" ], {a, 0, 1}, {b, 0, 1}, {c, 0, 1} ] With the above example I am not using the correct input matrix containing x, & y just to try and get it working, but the slider bars are unresponsive and it also doesn't look like the values are being calculated correctly either. Any feedback/advice would be greatly appreciated, Many thanks, EC
