Matlab and octave

Hi Ravi,

You can try the following (all free):

1) Paraview: http://www.paraview.org/

2) Mayavi: http://code.enthought.com/projects/mayavi/

3) Visit: https://wci.llnl.gov/simulation/computer-codes/visit/

4) GEOMS2: https://sourceforge.net/projects/geoms2/

5) K3D surf: http://k3dsurf.sourceforge.net/

6) Blender: https://www.blender.org/

There is also one well known commercial software for surfaces:

7) Surfer: http://www.goldensoftware.com/products/surfer

If you want to plot surfaces using libraries you can use:

a) matplotlib: http://matplotlib.org/examples/mplot3d/surface3d_demo.html

b) Mayavi (check surf function): http://docs.enthought.com/mayavi/mayavi/auto/examples.html

c) Plotly: https://plot.ly/python/3d-surface-plots/

d) VTK:  http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Examples/Python/Visualization/CurvatureBandsWithGlyphs

e) Vispy: http://vispy.org/

f) pyQtGraph: http://www.pyqtgraph.org/

g) Glumpy: https://glumpy.github.io/gallery.html

Hope it helps.

Octave and Python are free. If you have access to matlab or IDL they provide wider options. MS excel also has some decent 3d plots but the visualization techniques are limited.  

You may try MINITab. It is easy to use.

I use ImageJ

Blender is a free 3D modeling software, you can try that. There is also google sketch-up simpler to learn but basic tooling.

MATLAB

The attached paper has an impressive visualization tool. The most similar tool to the paper work is MATLAB but using a "Perceptual Color Mapping" algorithm.

Perceptual Color Mapping uses Hue, Illumination and saturation to provide the best depiction for the surface topology. This is a link for a MATLAB perceptual color map code.

The tool is good but still IBM program is the best in this field. Michael Elwardany

Thanks Ahmed Elhattab!

Dear Ravi,

Try free and useful statistical software of "PAST".

(https://folk.uio.no/ohammer/past/).

Good Luck :)

Dear Ravi Raushan use Matlab code (See script) for 3D plotting

the best and easiest one is OriginPro.

it's very good software

Sıgma Plot

note that origin pro 2021 is available

ORIGINPRO 2022 is available.
