Computer code for the three-dimensional graphing of multiple surfaces: applications to ecology

Donald L. DeAngelis,Marie Tharp-1977-06-01
2

TL;DRAbstract

The DISSPLA computer graphics package is impractical to use when several surfaces are to be drawn simultaneously on a single three-dimensional plot. A code incorporating DISSPLA routines, which facilitates the production of understandable graphs having an arbitrary number of surfaces, is presented here. The surfaces must be represented as mathematical functions. The significance of this three-dimensional graphics technique for exploring problems in theoretical ecology is illustrated by means of examples.
