Plotting Multiple 2D graphs in mathematica

[flemmyd]

Homework Statement

I have multiple 1D data sets, let's call them data1, data2, data3, etc. Each data set has the same number of entries. Each one is either a row or a column (I can just use Transpose[...], so same] and when I use the ListPlot[] function, I get a graph where the vertical axis is the value in the data set and the horizontal axis is the numerical position.

i.e. if data 1 = {5 26 17 9...}, the graph would have points at (1,5), (2,26), (3,17), ...

What I want to do is plot data1, data2, etc on a 3d plot to see how the data evolves. By introducing another horizontal axis, I could plot data 1 on the y=1 plane (with the x-axis being the order and the z axis being the intensity) and data2 on the y=2 plane, etc.

Homework Equations

When I try ListPlot3D[{data1,data2,data3...}], I end up plotting all the data points on the same y axis. I want to data1 on the y=1 plane, data2 on the y=2 plane, etc.

The Attempt at a Solution

I tried just rewriting the entire data set as such:

data1_3D= Table[{i,1,data1[]},{i,1,Length[data1]}] *I didn't actually put an underscore. just so you could see my numbering system here.
data2_3D= Table[{i,1,data2[]},{i,1,Length[data2]}]

and just plotting these, but this didnt work.

Additionally, I'd love to use the interpolation function to connect the dots along the y-axis and x axis. There is no ListLinePlot3D function that I know of. I think {Mesh -> All} might work, although I'm trying to get this data set plotted first.

Thank you for sharing your question and attempts at a solution. It seems like you are trying to plot multiple 1D data sets on a 3D plot to visualize their evolution. I have a few suggestions that may help you achieve this:

1. Instead of using ListPlot3D, you can try using ListPointPlot3D. This function allows you to specify the coordinates of the data points in a 3D space, which may be more useful for your purpose.

2. To plot each data set on a different plane, you can use the option PlotRange to specify the range of values for each axis. For example, if you want data1 to be plotted on the y=1 plane, you can set the PlotRange for the y-axis to {1,1}. Similarly, you can set the PlotRange for the x-axis and z-axis for each data set to achieve the desired result.

3. To connect the data points along the y-axis, you can use the option Joined -> True in ListPointPlot3D. This will create a line connecting the data points along the y-axis for each data set.

I hope these suggestions help you plot your data sets on a 3D graph. Good luck with your research!
