Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ pst-3dplot and it's axes

[Bozack]

Hi,

I've just started trying to learn how to plot graphs in 3 dimensions with the PStricks package pst-3dplot. But I have a little problem: The default axes made by the package are red, which I really do not like.

I've edited the package itself to actually make them black - but this isn't a smart way to do it, since I have to do this little hack on every computer I compile my file with.

Is there any way to tell pst-3dplot to make the axes another color? The figure I'm plotting is as follows:

Code: Select all

\psset{xunit=5.5mm,yunit=8mm}
\begin{pspicture}(-2,-10)(20,4)  %\psgrid
	%Egenskaber for 3D-plot: 
	\psset{Alpha=50,nameX=$y$,nameY=$z$,nameZ=$x$}
	\pstThreeDCoor[yMax=25,xMax=5]
	%Plotter de to bølger og deres stiplede linier:
	\parametricplotThreeD[xPlotpoints=200,linecolor=rapportfarvebleg,linewidth=1.5pt,linestyle=solid,plotstyle=curve](0,720){ 0 t 180 div 6 mul t sin 2.5 mul }
	\parametricplotThreeD[xPlotpoints=200,linecolor=YellowGreenbleg,linewidth=1.5pt,linestyle=solid,plotstyle=curve](0,720){ t sin 2.5 mul t 180 div 6 mul 0 }
	%Konfigurerer og plotter deres pile:
	\psset{arrows=->,arrowscale=1.5,linewidth=0.5pt}
	\parametricplotThreeD[yPlotpoints=44,linecolor=YellowGreenbleg](0,2.5)(15,720){ u sin t mul u 180 div 6 mul 0 }
	\parametricplotThreeD[linecolor=rapportfarvebleg,yPlotpoints=44](0,2.5)(0,720){ 0 u 180 div 6 mul u sin t mul }
\end{pspicture}

I've attached the whole file including preamble too.

Apart from the fact that it is never a good idea to modify a package, there is a much more easier way to get a different line color.

Code: Select all

\pstThreeDCoor[linecolor=black,yMax=25,xMax=5]

Since this command is only built from other pstricks commands, you can use quite normal parameters to influence the appearance of the output.

I could have sweared that I had already tried that and it didn't work But well, never too late to learn. Thanks, it worked like a charm.
