Use Make Mesh Data

Calc > Make Mesh Data

Specify the x and y parameters for the mesh data, and, optionally, specify a function for z-values.

  1. Under Store in, enter a column number (for example, C1) or a column name for the generated x and y data. If the name contains spaces, enclose the name in single quotation marks.
  2. Under From and To, specify the beginning and ending values for the x and y data.
  3. Under Number of positions, specify the number of values to generate for the x and y data.
  4. If you want to generate Z-values, complete the following steps.
    1. In Store Z variable in, enter a column number (for example, C1) or a column name for the generated z data. Enclose names with spaces in single quotation marks.
    2. Select one of the following:
      • Use function example: Create Z-values for the function you select from the drop-down list. For more information, go to Mesh data functions.
      • Use function number: Create Z-values for a user-defined function and enter the function number. For more information, go to Mesh data functions.
  5. In Function parameters (optional), you can enter custom parameters, separated by a space, for the selected function. The parameters that you can enter depend on the function. For more information on parameters for functions, go to Mesh data functions.
