Surface Example#
Using Q3DSurface in a widget application.
The surface example shows how to make a simple 3D surface graph using Q3DSurface and combining the use of widgets for adjusting several adjustable qualities. This example demonstrates the following features:
How to set up a QItemModelSurfaceDataProxy with a QAbstractTableModel backed by a numpy array.
How to use QHeightMapSurfaceDataProxy for showing 3D height maps.
Three different selection modes for studying the graph.
Axis range usage for displaying selected portions of the graph.
Changing theme.
How to set a custom surface gradient.
For instructions about how to interact with the graph, see this page.
