Dear NG:
I have the following problem.  I want to draw a 2D simplex in a 3D space,
and within the simplex some points and lines.

First I create the line:
gg1 = Graphics3D[Line[{{0.4, 0.3, 0.2}, {0.7, 0.15, 0.15}}]]
The the simplex:
gg2 = Graphics3D[Polygon[{{1, 0, 0}, {0, 1, 0}, {0, 0, 1}}]]
Then I visualize both:
Show[{gg1, gg2}, ViewPoint -> {1, 1.5, 2.5}]
The line isn't visible.  When I draw points, they are not visible either.
If I give options to the line (thickness, or RGBColor) or to the points, I
get an error message.
How should I proceed?
Thanks,
Fg

First of all, thanks for trying to help me.
I'm sorry, but your solution seems not to be applicable for my problem.
I'm afraid, but I don't know which parameters I've to use for Table and
Plot.
I know the plot command, but not in this context.
The other problem is, that not only the y-values is up and down, also the
x-value do so.
For example:

If you have the graph for a Thyristordiode, the x-axis would be the voltage
over
the diode and the y-axis is the current. Until a specific voltage is reached
there is nearly no current floating. After that point a current is floating
and
the voltage is going down.

Everytime I try to enter data, e.g.  ({0,0},{1,0.5},{2,0.5},{3,0.5],{1,15}),
I
get an error.

Has anybody another idea?

Greetings Oliver
