3D charts are commonly used to represent multiple-variable functions and include a z-axis
variable that is a function of both the x and y-axis variables.
Creating a simple 3D chart
- In the Chart Type section, click the 3D
icon.
The canvas updates to display a 3D chart template.
- Select the chart Type from the drop-down list.

- Y-axis
- Lists variables that are available for the chart's Y-axis.
- Z-axis
- Lists variables that are available for the chart's Z-axis.
- Tooltip info
- Lists the variables that can be used the generate tooltip information when the cursor hovers over a data point.
- Color map
- Lists available color map variables. These variables use color progression, based on the range of values in the specified column, to represent themselves in the plot points. Color maps are also known as choropleth maps.
- Size map
- Lists available size map variables. These variables use differing sizes to represent themselves in the plot points.
- Z ratio
- Sets the scale of the Z-axis data values, relative to the X and Y axes.
- Rotate
- Enables and disables chart rotation.
- Data point tooltips
- Controls where the data point tooltips display (right of data points, top-right of chart, or hide).
